Both Ginny and I are out of town, so we can't do a proper What's Happening. But I'll be back next week!

This isn't Annex-related, but it's just so cool that I have to tell you about. 1-800-GOOG-411 is a free service provided by the bright lights at Google that gives you directions to anywhere you want to go.
All you need is a phone. Here's a summary:
"You don't need a computer, an Internet connection, or even the keypad on your phone or mobile device. GOOG-411 is voice-activated, so you can access it from any phone (mobile or land line), in any location, at any time. For free.
Dial (1-800) GOOG-411. Say where. Say what you're looking for. GOOG-411 will connect you with the business you choose.
If you are calling from a mobile device, GOOG-411 can even send you a text message with more details and a map. Simply say "Text message" or "Map it."
Ain't technology grand?
Cheers,
Vanessa

I'm all for FREE & technology but I've tried the Goog 411 service and it just doesn't cut it for me. I had a hard time trying to find my neighborhood pizza hut and had to repeat myself numerous times, overall the whole experience just wasn't very pleasant for me. The worst part about the whole experience was that I was never given the opportunity to speak with a real person.
I have been using another free 411 service which is better for me since I'm not very good with those automated machines and the service is done entriely by a live person. I started using 1-800-411-SAVE about a week ago and absolutely love it; its free, done by people, and they connect my calls for free too.....what else could I possibly ask for?
It sounds like you like the Google service and it must work for you but I thought I'd share my thoughts none the less.
