Who needs 411?
When I purchased my daughter's cell phone the salesperson at Cingular (now AT&T) told me that instead of calling information for a number (and paying extra for it) we could text message "google" or 466453 put in the name of the business or person, the place where it is located and Google would send back the results. It works great! Google sends back the results almost instantly and was a great help during a huge ice storm we had in the winter where we were looking for a generator or a hotel room. (We found neither, but it wasn't google's fault! lol)
Today while researching the info for this post I found out that you can set your location on google as well, which would make the searches even quicker. And not only can you look up phone book type info, you can also find use it for maps, movies, currency converter, a translator, sports scores and a load more. I can't wait to need it again!
