1-800-Goog-411
Matthew Reinbold over at Muted Noise has written an excellent review of Google’s new free 411 service.
I’ve been pretty skeptical about the service because I usually would rather pay 75 cents for information than have to listen to an advertisement, but I realized something that made me pretty depressed. Now that Google is going to be sucking up all the 411 calls, the telecoms are going to lose business and to increase revenue, they’ll probably start putting advertisments on their own 411 service. So, I’ll have to pay my 75 cents AND hear a commercial in the future.
I guess I’m willing to try 1-800-GOOG-411 now…
