Google through text messaging

The new tech blog Lifehacker points to Google SMS. Send a text message to 46645 (in the US) with queries about addresses (e.g. of hospitals, restaurants), definitions, names/phone numbers, products and more, and receive a response text message (or two or three) with information. Standard text message costs apply (or so I’m assuming).

    Appears Amazon.com has also launched its SMS or text messaging services via Koffee-Break.

    These folks offer a ton of services and are available all over the world. Plus, they have a tie up with Tmobile for Germany.

    Koffee-Break offers directory services and even comparison price shopping for users in Germany. I used it from my tmobile phone and it works great. response time is about 1 minute or so.
