YouMail makes voicemail speak in multitudes

Remember my Harebrained Idea for the ‘I’m busy’ Voice Mail? Well today I read on the Under the Radar blog that a company called YouMail has developed a product that does kinda what I was looking for, and more.

YouMail is the new voice mail for cell phones. Among many features, it allows you to record unique voice greetings for anyone who calls you, based on their caller ID. Individualize your voice greetings for friends, family or important callers while maintaining a standard greeting for work and unknown callers.

Check your voice messages from any phone or via the web and forward favorite messages to anyone via email. Have fun with the already infamous DITCHMAIL feature that hangs up on unwanted callers after your custom greeting for them is played.

So it’s kinda what I was looking for, but not quite. I still want to be able to send certain calls to a custom message based on my situation, not based on who is calling. I want the system to work based on me, not based on the technology.

Oh well. It’s a start.
