You guys are totally missing the point, IMHO.

The ideal market for this isn’t books or ebay or amazon-like stuff. It’s for services like one of my clients offers… $10,000/month subscriptions where there’s no way in hell someone’s gonna sign up online.

With that said, though, I must admit that as a consumer, I’d be much more apt to click on a link, see if the site looks reputable and suggests that the company’s got what I want, then (for very high-ticket items or subscriptions) look for a phone number to call from the Web site.

Now if Google could somehow put a call button directly on the advertiser’s SITE… that’d be absolutely brilliant and a massive success, IMHO. Right now, my clients are really frustrated because they have no easy way to tell where their phone traffic (from their number posted on their site) is coming from.

While the little green phone and the program it represents will probably change the way some people contact advertisers, I think many Web users (including myself) will try to avoid using it, at least at first. Why call when you can snoop quietly around the Web and get the same info? I know that may sound silly, but I’d feel wary that the advertiser would be pushy with me.

well this is sort of like what ebay plans on doing with skype. sooner or later voice will be so cheap and pervasive that everyone will have a “click to call me” function on their blogs/e-stores.

There’s still a significant percentage of the population who use the Internet for research, but when it comes time to open up the wallet, they prefer the old brick-and-mortar, usually because they don’t trust giving out their credit card information online. (That’s pretty silly, considering your card is at much greater risk in those brick-and-mortar stores, but anyway…) This could reach that segment of the population that wouldn’t ordinarily click through and purchase online.

Interesting idea. As a consumer I wouldn’t use it because it’s so much easier to do things online (no waiting for endless recorded instructions), but it will be interesting to see what the results are.

Excellent idea, I wonder if people searching will understand what the little green phone does. If it does appear on a publishers site, I wonder how they will figure out how much cash we make?
