Before few days on spkydog's blog there is rumor on Google & Tellme pointing to ,
http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/rich-tehrani/voip/google-buys-tellme.html

which was a bit indication/rumor of Google has some plan on Telephony etc, and people keeping watch on GoogleTalk's Birthday (24-aug)for some announcement.

anyway Voice/Video Advertising seems to be new innovative market, and Voice may play vital role to convert (likely) customer from "desire to purchase" to actual "buyer".
