Google Via SMS
It wasn't enough to kick at Amazon today by launching book content you can search on, Google is also taking on SMS messaging. This is a MUST-TRY.

Here's how it works:
Enter what you want to find. You can search for either a specific business (Pizza Hut) or a general service (pizza). Make sure to include both a city and state, or a zip code with your search terms. If you want to make sure you get Google Local results, put a period between the business name and the location ('pizza.10013' or 'pottery barn.boston ma')'.

For Residential Listings Try:
first name, last name, city and state
first name, last name, state
first name, last name, area code
first name, last name, zip code
phone number, including area code
last name, city, state
last name, zip code

Then just send your query to 46645. If you forget all this, save the 46645 and send the word help. Nice. They even have a wallet sized-tip sheet. The thing will do dictonary definitions, prices from Froogle and on and on. Click here for more info.
