GrandCentral is a service that gives you one number to control all of your phones. When adding contacts to your address book you can place them into a group. You can then decide which of your phones will ring when a member of a specific group calls your GC (GrandCentral) number. You can also use different voicemail recordings for each group and choose a different ring each group will hear when they call you. When someone calls you on your GC number you have the option to screen your calls on your computer and actually listen to them leaving a voicemail. If it’s someone you want to talk to you can answer the phone. If not, you can send their number to spam or choose to call them later.
I created a screencast for GC last year but decided to do a new one today as they’ve recently been acquired by Google (congrats guys!) and the site looks a lot different. They’ve also added more killer features. GrandCentral is currently not accepting new users but I have invites for the first five people that leave me their email address and first and last name in the comments. Here’s my screencast tour of GrandCentral:

Update: Sorry, I don’t have any more invites but I’ll be sure to let you know if I get more!
