Google Coolness

More proof that Google is cool (and, since he pointed it out, that Neil Gaiman/[livejournal.com profile] officialgaiman is cool)....

Google SMS - You can now ask Google questions (Where can I get a pizza nearby? How do I get there? When is Revenge of the Sith playing nearby?) by sending a text message from a cell phone to 46645 (GOOGL).

At one time I used the tiny web browser on my phone to get information while out and about, but I gave up because it was too cumbersome, used too many minutes, and there weren't enough sites compatible with my 2002 phone's mini-browser. I like the idea of using text-messages to replace some of that functionality.
