If it's anything like Gmail, you have the power to make that happen.

all my invites started coming in they all have different tags, so i think they are good to be forwarded (you need a gmail account, though)

I don't see the big deal about it. I have heard people say good things, but I don't see why it's so important.

Maybe it is just that I do not have a use for it personally.

Seems pretty cool, but I don't know how useful it is for me, since I don't even have a land line, and any work-related calls I need to take go to my office anyway. The transcripts of the voicemails seem like they could be pretty handy, though, and a few other features.

It's just the way that Google keeps everyone from making a mad rush at their servers all at once and it also creates buzz and an "I want that!" craze.

They did the same thing for a long time when they rolled out Gmail.

But did Grand Central have the "Google" name on it? I didn't think so.

Thus, Google Voice is better.

Does it do porting of your existing number?

Someone can answer me or maybe Nino will do a "let me Google that for you" for me on this question too.

It sounds like no porting is involved. It simply forwards to your existing service(s).
