46645 is all you need
Does everyone know about text messaging GOOGLE for quick information? You can find out almost anything by sending a text message to 46645 (GOOGL) and punching in your request... For example, let's say I need to find the nearest CHASE bank, I type in CHASE 44118 (my zipcode) and up comes the nearest location and phone number. FAST.
If I need to check out our shitty weather in Cleveland, type "W Cleveland" and it tells me we are getting more snow.
How 'bout a football score on Sunday?? I punch in "Score Steelers" and there it is!
Stock quotes, weather, word definitions, currency conversions, flight schedules and even " Who is Jason Statham".
I can't stop!
I heard that Yahoo has it too. (92466) But I haven't tried it out yet.
Here is another, punch in "daylight savings time " - ANSWER: March 9, 2008.
Don't forget to spring forward!

I use 46645 all the time--mostly for movie show times in my area.
There was a reference to this on In Treatment last week. A teenage girl googled from her phone looking for a pizza place to deliver to her psychologist's office. And the Dr. said, "Google can do that?" And she replied, "Google can do anything." I tend to agree.
Google took 360 degree hi-res ground-level photos of every block in about 20 cities last summer (including Albany, NY) and these just went live a few weeks ago.
