something awesome

so you might already know about this, but in case you don't then you'll want to. ever need a phone number for a restaurant or something but don't have a phone book? well, of course you can call information, 411 or whatever. but..did you know you can also just text google and it will text you back?!

for example, this past weekend i wanted to call hula hut (my favorite restaurant) to see what the wait was like. so i texted "hula hut austin tx" to google (466453). within about 2 seconds i received a text that read" local listings: chuy's hula hut 3825 lake austin blvd. austin 78703 512-476-4852"

is that not awesome?? but there's more. it's not just an interactive yellow pages. you can text in a number of random queries and get such information as: weather, language translations, movie times, sports scores, currency conversion, etc, etc. learn more about it here

google, you're neat. no wonder you're the number one place to work for..

ps...i cannot take credit for knowing this was all possible. my good friend ck enlightened me and to her i am forever grateful.
