Google Goes Yellow

Well… yellow pages at least .  I know it’s not Utah based technology, but I just couldn’t pass this one up.  I was just reading a post about Google’s new, free phone directory service.  Really cool stuff. 

Basically, you just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (Or 1-800-466-4411 for those of us who might be reading this on a Blackjack ), tell it your city and state, then a business name or category.  Now, it’s the category part that really intrigues me… I would love to know how it chooses what businesses to list, and in what order.  If this service takes off, I think you may well see a new facet of marketing by companies, who attempt to adjust their “Goolge Juice” as it pertains to phone searches. 

Thanks to NewspaperGrl for cluing us all in on this one.
