Google 411

Google has released a new service called Google 411. It's great. All you have to do is dial the toll free number and respond to the voice prompts. What you say is analyzed by some kick butt voice recognition algorithm to find out where you live and what you want. When you find what you want via the numerical menu you say that number to be connected with that business.

So far Google 411 is just for finding businesses. Having a white page directory accessible by phone is probably not far off though.

Here is the Accompanying video Google released.
