Time you enjoy wasting isn't wasted time.

411 Powered by Google

I’m probably just behind the times, but Google Labs is powering up a 411 system voice application.  I gave it a try.  It worked like you’d expect from Google.  Call the 800 number, say a city, a business.  They’ll connect you or you can get details verbally or via SMS.  Solves those, “If only I had the number…” moments when I’m too cheap to use Verizon’s 411 service.

To try this service, just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) from any phone.

  1. This is pretty sweet. I was able to look up Firestone Grill using this.
