  Goog 411 - Google’s free 411 service

  06.18.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  I was snooping around the Google Labs today and I noticed a new service called Google Voice Local Search. How intriguing! It’s Google’s version of 411, but instead of using the conventional methods of other phone directories, this service seems to be tied in directly with their search algorithm, or more likely a tweaked version [...]

  I saw this little trick on Digg this morning. It actually sorta, kinda works.
  Cut and paste the following text into Google:
  {-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(wma|mp3) “DIGG”}

  I have to say, Tracksy.com is a pretty slick website. I heard about it on an episode of commandN and they had had nothing but good things to say about it. At first glance, it seems to be very similar to Google Analytics in that they both offer free web statistics for you website (or [...]

  Google Spreadsheets

  I was writing an email a few minutes ago when I noticed Google has a new feature called Google Spreadsheets.
  I had a chance to mess around with it for a couple of minutes. It seems very smooth, considering it’s a web app. I’ve used other online spreadsheets that are clunky by comparison. It also seems [...]

  This is pretty cool. It’s called Goggles and it’s a fun little flight sim that uses preloaded Google maps.
  You can fly over New York, Washington D.C., Paris, Tokyo, and London all while laying down strafing fire.
