They create new phone numbers for advertisers to use in their ads (online and offline) and provides call tracking details for ROI of the advertising campaign. It really is a great idea for advertising metrics. They can even record the conversations for you and provide transcripts of each call. actually, google is using the service quite extensively in their marketing/advertising business.

But I'm rarely far from a PC when I'm near a landline, so this may not add much usefulness for me. My iPhone is arriving in the morning, and I’ll give this try.

So you can use your Iphone as a dialer and receive the call on your land line. Only used it for a few days but thus far no problems to report.

Uninstalling it fixed it. When I got your comment, I tried installing it again, and now it's working fine. I just placed a call using it - very easy and convenient - and my blog looks fine. Maybe it was an interaction with some other extension; lots of them have updated in the last week. I did have one issue - my Google Mail pages seemed to have trouble loading at first. But when I reloaded them, they were fine. So your extension is staying on my PC and it's going to get a lot of use. Thanks for writing it for all of us!
