When I need to get work done, I use the FF extension LeechBlock.

What's the usual turn-around time for adding support for a new bank?

I requested my new bank (AmericaNet Bank, part of All America Bank and a sister institution to Redneck Bank and Evantage Bank) be added a few weeks ago, and am getting perhaps unjustifiably antsy ;). Just wondering how long it usually takes.

It would be a huge undertaking to internationalize this service, and Google hasn't said anything about doing so. So I would be very surprised if, even when they take it out of closed beta, it's not still limited to US users.

I can't find the import option, either. http://www.grandcentral.com/contacts/... takes you to the page for exporting to a .csv!

Dial out using my GrandCentral number directly from my phone?

Does GC offer a way to call out from my GC number (such that my GC number comes up on my recipient's caller ID) without using GrandCentral.com? I love the "Call" feature, and it would be even better if I could use it when I'm away from the computer.

The big problem this would solve, for me, is trying to explain why I have two different phone numbers. I prefer to give out my GC number, but if I call someone for the first time from my real cell number, that's the one that gets entered into their phonebook forevermore. If there was, say, a way to dial my own number, hit a couple buttons and enter the number I wanted to call, that would make it a lot more convenient for me!

GrandCentral needs a Quick Rule dashboard widget!

I love the idea of a Quick Rule, but I never use it. The problem is, I'm always worried that I'll forget about it and leave it turned on. A Dashboard widget (or Konfabulator widget, or ...) would be great, because I pull up my Dashboard a lot more often than I do my GrandCentral inbox.

Right now I'm home for the holidays, and I don't get any cell reception at all. I know it's not a big thing, but I'd love to have a more convenient way to turn my Rules on and off.

Yeah, I'm embarrassed to admit, but my "problem" was that I was expecting Twittersync to work in the same direction as the official app — i.e., to post my Facebook status to Twitter. Now that I realized that it does the exact opposite, it's working fine for me.

Twittersync's been erratic for me, even with the official/original Twitter app uninstalled. Sometimes it doesn't update at all, and sometimes it screws up the prepended text. Does the recommendation for Twittersync mean that the flagship app won't be updated?

(Plus, I've been wondering, how is it able to post to Twitter without my Twitter password?)
