Google

this post is about a new twist on a already existing way of communicating using a cell phone. what I'm talking about is obtaining information by text messaging Google. by texting 466453 you can get local listings, weather, movies times and locations, flights, sports, stocks, definitions, product prices, calculations, questions and answers, translations, web snippets, currency conversion, directions, maps, airports, and more are becoming available.
i just herd about this a few weeks ago and was surprised at how many of my friends knew about this too. if you want to order a pizza all you have to do is text pizza and your area code to Google and they will send you back names, locations, and phone numbers of all the pizza places with in your zip code. and you can do this with anything you want not just pizza. if you want to make plans you can check the weather or times of movies or if you need to get somewhere but don't know how, you can immediately get directions or the number for a cab. if you want to see if a store is open you can just call them and ask without the hassle of looking up their number in a traditional phone book. i was just at a store buying some shoes for my sister and a Friend at school said they got the same shoe at the MOA for a different price that this same store different location was selling them for and the lady working wasn't much help when i asked if she could call the other store so i could see if i could still get it for the price my Friend did. so what came to mind. well, i text Google the name and MOA of the other store and called them and found out everything i needed to know in about a min. If you text weather and your zip code it will give you the temp, the wind direction and speed, the humidity, and a three day forecast.
there are a ton of ways that this could allow your life to be more convenient but it cant do everything. on think i wish that it could do would be to find out who calls me when i get a random call in the middle of the night. i would like to be able to text the number to Google and have it tell me who is listed under that number. I'm sure you can think of some other cool ways that this could improve our everyday lives through communication and technology. so i guess if anyone who reads this figures out any other cool ways that you can use this texting Google, or any other interesting ways to make life easier for people by using new technologies or new ways of communicating let me know!
