New Service from Google

Ray Guy has a speed dial number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone :

1-800-goog411
.

This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free --Especially great when you are on the road.
Don't waste time or money on information calls and dialing numbers. Example: I am driving along in my car and I need to call the Billiard Parlour and I don't know the number. I hit the speed dial number for Goog411.

The voice at the other end says, 'City & State.' I say, 'Ottawa, Ontario'.

He says, 'Business, Name or Type of Service.' I say, 'Fred's Billiard Hall'.

He says, 'Connecting' and Fred answers the phone.

This is North America-wide and it is absolutely free!

  1. Hi John- GOOG411 is a really great service. I would also like to inform you of another FREE service that has some capabilities that GOOG411 does not (don't get me wrong it is super cool though :)). 1-800-FREE411 provides FREE business listings as well as government and residential listings. It can even provide free turn-by-turn driving directions that can be sent to your mobile phone via text message. ALLL FOR FREE- it is a really nifty service.
