Google Takeout, a service offered for Google's various web services, has added on support for Google Voice recently. What does this mean? Firstly, I'll explain this service for their services.
Google Takeout allows users of Google Buzz, Picasa, and other Google services to export their pictures, videos, documents, files, and other data to simple, easy to use file formats. The new addition of support for Google Voice to the service will allow Google Voice users to export voicemails, texts, and contacts with ease. The voicemails can now be saved as MP3 files, while the texts and contacts can be saved as documents.
Facebook, and some other sites have also developed a similar service, allowing you to export your personal info and other data. The Facebook service, however, exports to a .zip file, which some users have difficulty with. Google Takeout fouses on the ability to export the data to common file extensions, such as .mp3, .doc, .jpg, etc.
Here is the short, comedic video that Google used to announce the news.
