You'd think that the page that the, "Play message" link takes you to would be a password-protected page. You know - one that required you be logged into your Google account to access it...and listen to the message. You'd think. But unfortunately Google keeps failing to use a fine enough comb to straighten out some of the major privacy flaws in their latest product releases.

I sent a tweet to @googlevoice but haven't done much looking into this other than just testing it to be sure it was a real bug.

So, as far as I can tell, you do not need to be logged into Google to hear Google Voice messages, whether they are messages for your Google Voice number, or not.

Of those ten searches, eight of them actually can be answered (in an evidential capacity) but number one and number four makes me wonder. You could argue these two keywords are searched by people looking for discussions to help them in their personal journeys to answer those questions for themselves but I would guess that I'm giving the majority of them too much credit. My guess is that they are actually looking to Google for definitive, fact-based answers. Do people think Google has the answer to everything?
