Is there anything that Google doesn’t do?  They have maps, Google Earth satellite views of the world, Street View, Googlized word processing, presentation software, ads…and let’s not forget they sort of dominate the search engine marketplace. 

Now, in the midst of rumors of an impending Google Phone, they have unleashed a new free information directory service called Goog411.  Just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 on your cell or landline phone.  You can use it anytime, from anyplace.  It’s voice activated, and it’s getting some rave reviews. 

Most cell carriers charges users $1 or more for each 411 call.  Google charges nothing–they even connect you to the business you’re trying to reach for free.  GOOG411 can even send you a text message with more information about your query or a map to the location; all you have to do is say “text message” or “map” and the voice recognition does the rest. 

Check it out, and stop paying for 411 calls today!
