Hero Hotlines

Running a hotline may be easier than it once was. Google Voice creates a new phone number, which can be linked to many other phones.

So instead of giving out a personal number, the Google Voice number can be given out. If you want to be called whenever someone calls the number, add your number to the account. If you want a break, just log back in and unclick the box.

While originally designed for a single user to coordinate all their phones, I see no reason why it couldn't be used to allow multiple users to share the burden of being the contact point for an organization.

In times of trouble

Know this:

When history looks back at these troubled times, it will remember that those who first changed themselves were the ones who changed the world... and history will call them nothing less than heroes.
