Scotty's B

After seeing a piece on 60 minutes about google's text messaging service I tried it and its pretty awesome.

So let's say you are near my apartment and you want to find Thai food.Text message to 46645 (or G-O-O-G-L) Have the text message say Thai 10025 (that's my zip code) I did that and within 30 seconds I got two text messages from Google with the names, addresses, and phone numbers of two good thai restaurants.

Want to find the nearest Pottery Barn to Boston?
Have the text message say Pottery Barn Boston

Want to find out Brandon Walsh's phone number?
Have the text message say B Walsh, 90210 and if Brandon lists his phone number google will send it to you.

Want to compare prices on IPODs?
Have the text message say price ipod 20gig

At Barnes and Noble and want to see how much Amazon charges for a book?
Have the text message say price and then enter the ISBN number

Want to know the definition of antagonist?
Have the text message say define antagonist

There are even more ways to use Google's text messaging service which can be found at: http://www.google.com/sms/howtouse.html#business

It would have been nice to have this service during summer tours!
