The other day, I was surfing online and I noticed an ad for Google's free 411 info service, 800-GOOG-411.  Free 411?  I'm so there!  It's a pretty cool service and so far, I've had no problems.  It's recognized cities and states (you can also type in the zip code), and the businesses I'm trying to find, all by my voice.  If you're not looking for a specific business, you can say "restaurant," "pizza," etc.  It'll even connect you, too.

Don't forget to say "Text Message," so you can get the info and number on the business you just GOOG-411'd.  Oh, I also learned that you can say "Map It," and if your phone has Internet service, you can see it on the map.

Get all the details on 800-GOOG-411, plus a video on how it works, at http://www.google.com/goog411/.
