We have heard the news about Google’s GrandCentral acquisition. Josh Kopelman offers this take on why Google want to offer you a free service through the GrandCentral acquisition. Scary. I hope the privacy advocates take a look at this seriously.

I think it’s important for consumers to recognize what they are “paying” for a free service. With 1-800-FREE411, you’re “paying” by listening to their advertisements. With Google, you’re paying by giving them your voice.

Before buying into his take, you should also keep in mind that he is an investor in the competing free411.com.
