Google is now directing anyone who inquires about suicide to a toll free phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The information, which will be highlighted by a red phone, will take precedence over all other search results. Dr. Roni Zeiger, chief health strategist for Google, told the New York Times that this is the second time Google has added the guidance link. Earlier this year, the search engine began providing a toll free phone number for the national poison control hotline.

The new Google toll free has come customers confused. Here is the lowdown: Google Nexus One phone users had hopes today of being able to dial a toll free phone number and speak with a Google representative for any type of support and question. But, they soon learned that the phone number is only “for questions about your existing order,” as Google’s support page clearly states. Immediately below the newly posted instructions for shipping questions, the “Technical Support” section now directs customers with problems with the phone to HTC, the phone’s manufacturer: “For technical support, please contact HTC customer care at 1-888-216-4736.

Google – Breaking Announcement
Google welcomes Gizmo5
Thursday, November 12, 2009 | 2:30 PM
Today we’re pleased to announce we’ve acquired Gizmo5, a company that provides Internet-based calling software for mobile phones and computers. While we don’t have any specific features to announce right now, Gizmo5’s engineers will be joining the Google Voice team to continue improving the Google Voice and Gizmo5 experience. Current Gizmo5 users will still be able to use the service, though we will be suspending new signups for the time being, and existing users will no longer be able to sign up for a call-in number.
We’ve acquired a number of small companies over the past five years, and the people and technology that have come to Google from other places have contributed in many ways, large and small, to all kinds of Google products. Since the GrandCentral team joined Google in 2007, they’ve done incredible things with Google’s technology and resources to launch and improve Google Voice.
We welcome the Gizmo5 team to Google and look forward to working together to bringing more useful features to Google Voice.

We think that might be the case: here we present some of our favorite non-Google ways to access Google services on the iPhone. How do you think these compare to Google’s own app?
