1-800-Goog411 was one of my favorite technology tools of the past three years and now it has ceased to exist.
Goog411 was laid to rest on November 12, 2010 and will remain in our memories and slowly morph into Geek Mythology. Goog411 was a tremendous free service in which you could call 1-800-Goog411 and speak to the mighty Geek God who would mystically connect you to the business you were searching for with no fee or human interaction.
As the cell phone carriers battle over 3G and 4G definitions, it only makes sense to give Google the credit they deserve and refer to the world as we know it today in terms of Google. For example, in the beginning of time, it is commonly referred to as BC. After that, we started keeping track of time via AD (i.e. 1950 AD). As technology caught on and Google became the mainstay, I had to start thinking of things differently in terms of BG (Before Google).
Then new generations of Google were created.
- G1 = Google;
- G2 = Goog411;
- G3 = Gmail;
- G4 = When Google bought YouTube;
- G5 = Google Earth;
- G6 = Google Docs;
- G7 = Google Voice;
- G Spot = This is still under development at Google Labs!
I look forward to what Google has to deliver to get me excited next with new ways to embrace technology!
