Goog-411 R.I.P. – I’ll Miss You
Update 10:43 EST: Perhaps I am in ever hopeful denial or perhaps someone at Google forgot to turn out the lights but when I just dialed 1-800-Goog-411, it answered and was still working! I have followed Goog-411 from its seriptitious inception masquerading as a non-Google service called 520-find, to its bizarre rural advertising campaign, to the …
Google SMS now providing Residential Numbers- Goog-411 to follow soon?
I recently received a text from Google that their SMS system is now providing public residential phone listings via a text message. Simply enter a name, city & st. or zip and text it to 46645 (GOOGL) and you will receive back a complete residential listing including the phone and street address. Can a Goog-411 …
Goog-411 now a speedier option on Thomson/GE phones
Greg Sterling has noted a Thomson/Google deal that adds a one-touch, auto-dial GOOG-411 button into many of its latest GE-branded DECT 6.0â„¢ cordless phones.

Goog-411 calls now completed by bandwidth.com
Reader, Bob Brenly, has pointed out that Goog-411 calls are now completed by bandwidth.com in both the US and Canada as announced on any Goog-411 call. I am curious about this change. Have they switched call completion providers? Why is it necessary to declare the provider at all?
Ghoulgle-411
Google may be getting big, and they may do some evil but unlike Microsoft they can still manage to make me smile and even laugh with some of their marketing. Goog-411 started adding a range of introduction voices in August (see The many voices of Goog411, dude!) including children’s voices and voices with distinctive accents. …
