Google 411

Okay, this post is for those of you who haven't heard

about Google 411 and Google SMS.This is MUST KNOW

information for every person with a phone. I am continually

surprised how many people do not know about it, so I'm

posting here to make sure I do my part to spread the

information.

Google 411 is a free service by Google to help you find a

business you are looking for. It is very much like the information

service you can call and, for a fee, have a business phone number

looked up and connected to you. 

The difference? It's free!

Just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) and you're all set!

Google SMS is even better than Google 411. Google

SMS is another FREE service by Google. Essentially

bringing the power of Google Search to your cell phone using 

text messaging. To use it, simply send a search query in

a text message to '466453' (GOOGLE on most phones) and

Google will respond back in a text message with the results.

It is incredible. You can get local business listings, weather, dictionary 

definitions, sports scores, movie times, directions, and more. 

For example, if you were looking for a comic shop in Salem,you

could send this to 'GOOGLE': "comics 97301". Seconds later you

would receive 1 to 3 text messages with business listings as you

would find in the phone book...delivered to your cell phone...free

(text messages may have fees associated depending on your cell plan)! 

Want to know the weather report for Olympia? Simply text this to

Google: "weather olympia".Don't know what 'bamboozled' means?

Simply text this to Google: "define bamboozled".

Wow...that sounded way more like a commercial than I would have

liked. Sorry ;o)  I use this service all the time. It is really great and

very convenient. Try it out!
