Google Click to Call

Pretty cool idea...but not something that would take off except for perhaps older people. For a limited amount of companies this may be useful but I dont see it taking off for the average Google Adwords Advertiser. One of the big ideas behind this is the anonymous calling that happens. When you call...you actually call Google..who then call the company involved. They dont see your number but you can see the companies number.

Google of course takes your privacy very seriously and deletes the number after a "short period" of time....like 4 months...wait for the but.....4 months "after the last time you used the service". Which basically means that regular user's numbers are stored on Google for like forever (2038 - I think thats the expiry date of the whole internet...like the y2k bug but delayed by 38 years).
