GrandCentral, Google’s free unified phone management platform, has announced their first major integration point with the other tools of the Google portfolio today: Blogger. In case you aren’t one of the lucky few to have been in on the private beta for 
GrandCentral, essentially it acts as a call forwarding system for all you lines, giving you just one number to put on your business cards that will ring all your lines at once.
Today, they released a new version of the WebCall button for use on Blogger powered blogs so that your readers can easily leave voicemail or call you directly from your site without seeing your phone number.
With GrandCentral, and with the WebCall button, you’ll be able to screen and record incoming calls, or send them to your GrandCentral voicemail box.
The WebCall button has been available for some time now from within the GrandCentral system, but has always worked with varying degrees of reliability. Now that the service is finally publicly announced on the Blugger Buzz blog, one would imagine that it has reached more of a level of post-alpha.
User comment: By: Justin KatesThey didn't really integrate anything at all. I've had this feature on my blog for a while, all it requires you to do is put the code for a WebCall button in your sidebar. GrandCentral has had the feature to make a button for ages...as has Blogger had the feature to insert your own HTML code into the sidebar. Basically all Google is doing is telling you something that you may have not discovered before.

A way to leave me voicemails!" I'd MUCH rather see them integrate GC into Gmail. That's the logical thing to do. I'd pee myself if that happened.
