Last June I wrote about GrandCentral, the online Voice Over Internet Protocol phone system that Google had purchased.

Have you ever received an email from someone that contained a long link that broke across several lines? And then when you tried to click on it, it was broken. I sure have, and, I have even sent a few of those myself. Services have popped up all over the Internet to solve that problem…
