Google Voice Local Search
Google has a new, experimental service called Voice Local Search. It’s basically a search engine of local businesses you access by using your phone.
From the web site:
To try this service, just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any phone. Using this service, you can: * search for a local business by name or category. You can say “Giovanni’s Pizzeria” or just “pizza”. * get connected to the business, free of charge. * get the details by SMS if you’re using a mobile phone. Just say “text message”.This is pretty cool. I’ve added the number to my cell phone and will use it instead of directory assistance from now on. Source: Robert Ambrogi’s LawSites
