Text Messages From Google SMS

I love Google. Just when you think they are done changing the world, they come up with something else new and clever. My latest fav - Google SMS. You don't need a fancy iPhone or Blackberry to find movies, restaurants, get flight or stock info on your phone - Google will actually TEXT it to you! For free! And we all know, free stuff is the best cool stuff. (But check your plan - carrier charges may apply.)

So, here's how it works. Simply send a text to GOOGLE (466453) and they will text back the results:

I want to check movie listings:
Text "Movies" and your zip code

My buddy just gave me a stock tip. I want to look it up:
Text "stock" and the ticker symbol

I'm late! Am I going to miss my flight?
Text "flight" followed by your flight number

What's the weather going to be like this weekend in San Antonio?
Text "weather san antionio"

I'm craving Italian for dinner, but don't know any restaurants here.
Text "Italian" and your city or zip code. This works for sushi, Tex Mex - you name it!

I'm lost!
Text "directions" followed by zip code to zip code, city to city, etc.

Where the heck is the nearest gas station?
Text "gas station" and your zip code or city

I missed the big game last night. What's the score?
Text "score" followed by the team name

I'm in Mexico and I really need to pee.
Text "translate where is the bathroom in spanish"

And no, folks, that's not all. Check out www.google.com/sms to learn more cool tricks and play with their demo.

Hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!
