Google text messages


What is Google SMS?

Been playing with this product and I am over the moon about it.
With this you can not only get stock quotes by return text message (with volume, hi, lo, last) but driving directions, pizza parlors, movie times, and more I have yet to discover.

The messages go to 46645 (GOOGL) which couldn't be easier!

This means that google is now a brand, a product that transends computer users. Anyone with a cellphone will find this essential in a short time, as we have found Google the search engine essential within three years of first using it.

It doesn't show any advertising yet and it will be interesting how they put advertising into the cellphone product. Will anyone click on something or bother to read an ad?

Perhaps they figure the pizza joint will take orders or the movie will sell tickets and pay GooG a spiff for the sale.

So the Old Fox says:
Buy Google
