Googd-Bye411

Well, doesn’t this make me wanna say boo.

Remember when I was all excited about Goog411? Well, on November 12, it’s time to say goodbye. They’ve decided to shut it down so they can use what they learned to build better voice recognition on other mobile apps. Hopefully more people don’t have to say Ggelf to get Guelph, or my personal favourite, John Queer to get Jonquière.

As much as I sometimes wanted to smack the chirpy google voice when he so totally got it wrong, I appreciated getting numbers without having to pay a buck a pop for them.

Damn, this was out since 2007. How did I miss the boat so badly?
