Title: Goog411 works to Canada now
Post by: immabadspellor_ on March 12, 2008, 03:59:38 PM
Now when you call GOOG-411 you can look up Canadian listings.  It seems my fears of calling GOOG-411 from Canada eventually being directed to a Canadian Goog411 are unfounded (based on the temporary query of "What city and province?" Goog was announcing!).  Calling Goog from either country will yield listings in either country.  Cool!

I had that happen to me last week, but after 'City and Province' I gave a US city and state and it didn't seem to care.

Yes, but now you can actually give Goog a city and province and it will find a listing in Canada where before it would either not recognise what you were saying or would say that the area wasn't covered yet.

I am embarrassed. I'm removing that thing now. I'm not sure if i should be pissed or just think it's funny, so i'll be both. I can't really describe my feelings right now. Half of me wants to laugh, and the other half wants to be pissed at myself. In other words, i got PWNED!!

To redeem yourself there's only one thing you can do now. You must expose yourself to murd0c.
