On Friday Google introduced Google Voice Local Search, and as usual they bring another powerful search tool to users for free. I wanted to test the service out, unfortunately the service is only available in the US (Google needs to start beta testing in Canada).
Here are a few of the features:
- You can find a business listing by category. Just say “pizza,” for example.
- You can send the listing details to your mobile phone via SMS.
- The service is fully automated, so it doesn’t rely on human operators.
- It connects you directly to the business, free of charge. However, your telephone company may apply regular charges for making a phone call or receiving an SMS.
If anyone has any comments for this new service, Google has also launched a discussion group surrounding Google Voice or you can email the Google Voice team directly at: labs+goog411@google.com
