They also do dumb things like asking if something is right and if you say right it re-asks until you say yes, then you have to remember the # or write it down while driving. Very dangerous. I use Picasa extensivly, Google Chrome, Google search, Panaramino, google maps and earth. please bring back Goog 411.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09041216004380820527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-81923191406369330492010-11-29T06:34:42.335-08:002010-11-29T06:34:42.335-08:00I have used GOOG411 a ton, even while sitting on a...I have used GOOG411 a ton, even while sitting on a motorcycle with a BT headset in my helmet.

Mostly, I think the reason it did not work out was because too many things were automated. Recently I heard of Justdial, a 24 x 7 operator assisted toll free concierge service. I dialed 1800-500-0000 to try the service and was amazed when a human voice answered my query within 60 seconds. Justdial really delivered what they promised.michlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252861398307739002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-68904395895051097152010-11-09T20:39:11.542-08:002010-11-09T20:39:11.542-08:00I'm not only disappointed that Google has pull...I'm not only disappointed that Google has pulled the plug on GOOG 411 - I'm alo disturbed that they've been stockpiling our recorded voices for their own use. It's one thing to claim that you're recording and/or monitoring calls for quality control/customer service purposes... it's something decidedly different when you're preserving these recordings in your database. <br /><br />As for 800 JustDial; they're located (or at least they originated)in India. I'm not exactly thrilled with the thought of having my searches (and probably my voice) on a foreign database, too. <br /><br />GOOOOOOG....you done us wrong.<br /><br />Nan, Chicago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-60156858131231850902010-11-08T13:27:12.480-08:002010-11-08T13:27:12.480-08:00I really wish you would reconsider.

I don't have any phone service so it was neat to call businesses like this. I guess all good things must end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
