Send Google A Text Message

Have you ever wished that you had the phone number for that great Chinese restaurant up the street or wish that you could find a pharmacy while on vacation? Here is a tip for all of you who love to text message and love to save money. Eliminate 411 charges by texting google. Store 46645 (GOOGL) in your phone's contact list. Then send GOOGL a message like, Pizza 10701. Within minutes I have the number to my favorite pizza place in Yonkers. Texting Google works well with the weather and searches as well as pizza. Try it out... gotta run, I'm getting hungry.

Check out TV Links for an alternative way to catch your favorite movies.
