Tring Tring Tring…There goes my mobile phone again. Mobile phones have become a way of life these days; you can’t survive without them even for a minute. This world of mobile communication and the concept of getting data on your finger tips has just got better.
Imagine, you travel to a relatively unknown place and want some local information and you don’t have the luxury of the internet. In this case how cool it would be if a service existed which allowed you to call in, give your search query and have the results sent to your mobile via an SMS. These kinds of services do operate in certain cities only for the local public, but none of the major search engines were involved in these services until now. But then times are changing fast when it comes to technology.
Google has recently launched a pilot phone search service which makes information of any local business, movie timings, flight updates and more accessible from any phone. Way to go!! That’s really awesome. The best part about it is its free. That’s like getting information anytime, anywhere free of cost. Google offers you information either via SMS or it will be read out you.
Personally, I think that this will work and can’t wait for this service to be launched in full scale. Local Phone Search companies beware, here comes Google. Knowing Google once it successfully tests out the feasibility of this campaign a paid search advertising model is not far.
