Google 411: You’ll Never Dial 411 Again

You’ll Never Call 411 Again! Google has just released Google 411, a free replacement for the crappy 411 you’re currently using. Call 1-800-GOOG-411 (800.466.4411) from any phone. Much like Google Local Search, it will accept a ((city && state) || zip code), and any search term. For example, on Google Local Search you might search for “90210, Pizza” and get all the pizza joints in Beverly Hills. When you call Google 411, you can say “90210… Pizza” and get the same results.

A few test calls reveal their intuitive menu structure and accuracy. If you want, they’ll SMS the results to your wireless. The best part is that you don’t have to deal with people - It’s all speech recognition, and the software actually knows what you say and repeats it back to you.

What Do You Think?
