Since we switched to Google Apps for business functions like email and calendar scheduling, I’ve spent more time than ever with Google on my computer screen.
Need I mention how often I also rely on Google offline?
Google 411 is Google’s (free) answer to finding whitepages information on the go. Sure calling is a cool option, but my favorite feature is the texting (surprise). Type in the name of the business and zip code (in my experience it only has to be a close-ish zip code) or city and text it to GOOGLE (466453). Within seconds, Google texts you right back with all the information you need. Did I mention the service is free (plus whatever you pay your cell phone provider for text messages)?
I’m obsessed.
It’s really great to see a tech company embracing what the internet can do by using tools like Google Apps. You guys are obviously very passionate about the web and it shows!
Thanks Brandon.
I’m still not sure how I feel about not being able to access my Google Apps email offline, but for me the calendar (and especially calendar sharing) is easier to use than any other calendar program I’ve used before.
