Google Does SMS
Ever been at on the road and wonder where the nearest pizza joint is? Well, now you can find out with Google SMS. You can search local businesses, you can get definitions of words, and a few other options. Yet…
I really wonder if they’re going to pull that off in more countries soonish…I guess this could be a cool thing (especially if it’s really free)…but I doubt that the german mobile phone companies would make something like that possible?!
Just last Thursday, I attended a seminar on the new Microsoft Search Engine / TechPreview. Having first seen it on Slashdot three months ago, I could appreciate the enhancements they have made….
But quite simply, it pales in comparison to Google. Google is light-years ahead of everyone. Google has attained the status of “verb” among non-techies!
I always can’t wait to hear what comes from them next…..

Sounds like a cool service, it’ll be a while before it makes it to England though I guess…
My one question is, what phone is that? It’s pretty sexy.
