I’ve been using this for a long time, but if you’re still calling 411 you should try Google’s 411 service, Goog-411. It’s free and better in one important way than your phone company’s information service: Have ever had your car battery die in the middle of the night, in a scary part of a strange town? When I was younger, I had just that experience.
I had my cellphone, so I called information. When the operator requested a business name, I said, “Just give me the first towing company in the system.”
She said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t do that.”
“Ok?” I wondered. “How about ‘A Towing’?”
“We have no listing for ‘A Towing’.”
“‘AA Towning’,” I tried.
“No I’m sorry. Goodbye.”
Ouch.
Suffice to say, I had to walk.
If it had happened today I could have used Goog-411 and actually asked for a business category! Watch the video for a demo.
