Google just announced a new feature: Starting today, you can call any phone right from Gmail.

Calls to the U.S. and Canada will be free for at least the rest of the year and calls to other countries will be billed at our very low rates.

Dialing a phone number works just like a normal phone. Just click “Call phone” at the top of your chat list and dial a number or enter a contact’s name. If you have a Google Voice phone number, calls made from Gmail will display this number as the outbound caller ID.

For more information, visit gmail.com/call.

Foodspotting answers the question “What’s good around here?” by making finding and sharing food recommendations as easy as snapping a photo. I yet have to give this a try.

Leo was monumental in the creation and direction of Vancouver’s Winter Olympic brand experience for the 2010 games. It will be remembered as one of the best visual palettes ever created for the games, as beautiful and memorable as Athens and Torino’s visual identities.

Leo’s philosophy towards telling a story that is honest, simple, funny and most of all emphatically strong, has drawn great affection towards brand Vancouver.
