Google Mobile

without comments

Google’s added yet another handy feature to their suite: Google Mobile.

Text short search phrases to 466453 (“GOOGLE”) and get movie times, local business listings, area codes, word definitions, zip codes, etc. It’s actually easier and faster than using your phone’s web access (if you have it – I do ;-) ).

For example:
- Find out when “Pirates of the Caribbean” is playing in west LA just text “pirates of the caribbean 90036″.
- What movies are playing in west LA? “m 90036″

More info and handy demo here: Google Mobile

Search for “Crappy Software” on Live Search…

with one comment

After visiting “reallydull.com”, I felt the need to test the search box on microsoft.com (“powered by Microsoft Live Search”). Being on Microsoft’s web site and using Microsoft’s “live search”, I felt it appropriate to search for “crappy software”. Link is below for your enjoyment.

Here’s a screen shot in case they change it…

Windows Live Search Results: “Crappy Software”

Now the funny thing is that if you do the same search on google, you actually get results with “crappy software” in the title.
