GOOGLE SMS: A NEW EXPERIMENT IN THE LAB

[Oct 7, 2004] Google's just launched 'Labs. This new service provides the same information as the web searches, but in SMS format.

The users from USA who want to get the information must send an SMS to '46645', with an extra text. Why the number '46645'r? Try typing 'GOOGLE' with your mobile.

You've got more information on this link, but the main 'extra texts' are:

:: 'pizza new york' returns information from 'Google Local' (businesses in local areas). [Web Result]

:: 'Smith San Francisco CA', information from 'PhoneBook' (phone numbers and addresses for residences in the US). [Web Result]

:: 'Price ipod 20gb', prices from 'Froogle' (online products). [Web Result]

:: 'D computer', word definitions. [Web Result]

:: 'G population San Francisco' returns a classical Google search (you get the two-line 'snippet'). [Web Result]

:: Type 'sin(45 degrees)' and you'll use Google as a Calculator. [Web Result]
