Here is something you may want to have and use.  I still remember when the telephone company charged me $1.50 to get a phone number from information and how I used to use Tellme for similar types of services.   Just leave it up to Google to come up with something like this.

Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone, or your home phone speed dial: 1-800-GOOG411. This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free -- great when you are on the road. 

The voice at the other end says, "City & State." I say, " Garland , Texas ." He says, "Business, Name or Type of Service." I say, Firewheel Golf Course." He says, "Connecting" and Firewheel answers the phone.  This is nationwide and it is absolutely free.  Click on the link and watch the short clip for a quick demonstration: http://www.google.com/goog411.

What this really makes me wonder is how quickly companies like Google are coming closer and closer to being our service providers of choice.  Today I can search, chat, email and get all my preferred news from Google.  Now I can use telephony to get real time information.  How soon will it be before I am paying them for basic TV and phone service?
