Technically 411 with google?
So while out with my conversational Spanish group trying to be technically foreign the group leader asked about that old school way of Texting google and getting a reply. If you text message GOOGL (46645) with a business and city, then you will get the information texted back to you. This works with sports, weather, movies and such. However, why text when now you can just call. Google now has a 1-800-goog-411 or 1 -800-466-4411. Which is a free 411 service with voice activation commands. This service works like any 411 service you would use, plus some extra benefits.
There website – http://www.google.com/goog411/ has a cool youtube video on the service, and allows you to also have the service send the info to your cellphone via text or directly connect. This is a free 411, service instead of the ones that charge you, so it seems worth it or at least to try and like all things that I deem Technically Foreign, it just got that cool factor while you and your friends are walking through the streets and trying to find that restaurant.
