Public Service Announcement

I have something to share with all y'all. It is a trick that I use all the time, but I often neglect to share this secret with others.

Google text. Does everyone know about this? Because you should. You can get everything from restaurant locations to movie times to definitions of words that you don't understand.

Here is how it works.

For restaurants, businesses, etc.

Text: restaurant. city, state

or

restaurant. zip code

then send to GOOGL (46645)

Magically you get the address and phone number texted back to you.

For definitions of words you may not know

Text: D. floozie

or

D. mystery word

send to GOOGL (46645)

Bling-a-ling! You have a text. It says:

Glossary:

floozie: streetwalker: a prostitute who attracts customers by walking the streets

Genius right? You should use it, the reasons are five-fold.

1) It is a cinch.

2) It is free. (Just your standard text messaging rate, but I think most people have unlimited now).

3) It is super fast. Usually under 2 seconds wait time.

4) You will have a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips at all times.

5) It is the technological equivalent of an ancient-Chinese-cure-all-remedy.
