I recently attended a few GRI classes and picked up a piece of information that I think is neat and I use it quite often.
Have you ever been out of town and wanted to know where are the nearest pizza places or your favorite chain restaurant? Need to find a bookstore? Whatever your needs are, you can send a text message to google and it will send you back a text message with the infomation.
For example, You want to find out where the nearest pizza place is. All you have to do is go to your cell phone, open up new text message, google to # 46645. In the text area, type in Pizza (space) zip code. Like this: Pizza 14221 Then press send. In a few minutes, you will get a text message back with the names, addresses and phone numbers of the nearest local Pizza places!
It also works with names. Like this: Smith 10032 send. I recently used it to find a tuxedo shop in the area.
You can also do a reverse search if you know the zip code: type in the phone number for example like this: (area code and phone number with no spaces then a space then the zip code) 5551112222 10032 and hit send and it will come back and tell you the name and address of the person who called.
Try it!
