Ggle Txt

Ggle Txt

Have you heard of it? Say you're looking for a store or restaurant and you kind of know where it is but not really. You can txt the name of the place and the city to Google - 466453 - and Google txts you back with the address and the distance and direction to the loction. The distance can be kind of off because I don't think the program is really good at knowing where you are exactly.

Google txt came in handy a few weeks ago when my friend was looking for the Paul Frank store in Manhattan. We were walking around Soho and Nolita and we were in the area but we weren't totally sure where the store was exactly. So we txted "paul frank new york" and we got the address and it was just around the corner. We would not have found it otherwise. Neato!
