411 Freebie

Cell phones have become a needed nuisance.  Guess you could say the same thing about most corporations. 

Verizon Wireless and other carriers will gladly charge you up to $2 for every 411 "information" call.  My friends, it is time to cut that money stream OFF. 

Great Googly Moogly!

Google recently announced a FREE 411 service.  To try it out, simply call 1-800-GOOG-411.  Note, the service is still in beta testing...and does not work for residential look-ups.

Thanks to Jott, you can flip open a cell phone, dial a toll-free number, and leave yourself a message.  And it doesn't end there.  The folks at Jott will transcribe the claptrap and email it to you/friends/co-workers.  For free.
