This is kinda interesting.

It is very different than Yahoo! Video Search which is awesome. Try searching on Yahoo for Whistle Tip or your favorite funny intarweb vid of teh past.

Text somthing like pizza. redmond wa to 46645 (googl)

and you will get a txt showing all the pizza places in the area...

Check it out it rocks.

'pizza. redmond wa to 46645'

gave me this result:

Sorry, 'pizza.redmond
wa...' did not return any
directions. Neither
address was recognized...blah blah blah

looks like the 'to' is for directions like:

'98052 to 98106' will give you directions from Redmond to Seattle

You can get pizza info just by typing
'pizza 98052'

Oh wait! Google must not have implemented the feature to talk to pizza through SMS yet! It's still beta after all but when it's done we will be able to freely ($0.10 charge) talk to pizza to tell it to get directions to go to 46645 (GOOGL)! Brilliant!

What in the tarnation is the 46645 number for? I've never used SMS - I don't think my phone has it. I can only receive text messages I can't send them.

to isnt italicized

i ment like send the message to 46645, which stands for googl

w00t! you can talk to cheese too...and tell it where to go - maybe you could talk to all ingredients and tell them to come over and jump in the oven...

Found this on BoingBoing today. I love randomly browsing GIS, and this makes it so much eaisier to really randomize the search. Try it, it is fun!

Fun way to browse Google Image Finder.
