"Information-- May I help you?" Free 411 and More from Google!

If you remember when calling 411 was free, then you'll understand why I hate, hate, hate paying for information. (Did I say I HATE paying for information???) Now Google not only provides information for free, they text you the number and send you a map to your destination! All you have to do is call: 1-800-GOOG-411. And if you actually need to see how it works, there's a video on YouTube. It doesn't get cooler than that, folks.
