I’m under this silly impression that if things continue as they have, before very much longer, everything in the United States will have a “Powered By Google” sticker slapped on one of its edges. The best title I could come up with for this vision of the United States as a pseudo-amusement park, pseudo-country, pseudo-IT-mecca is “GoogleWorld”, forgive me for not being more original or more creative — I wanted it to be absurd sounding.

Lending credibility to that theory, Google continued its strategic domination of search, just recently connecting GoogleMap’s mapping and routing features with their latest search related service/tool, namely GOOG-411.

What in the GoogleWorld is GOOG-411? GOOG-411 is a toll free service that allows you, through speech-to-text technology, to do Internet searches for things like businesses, without typing of course. Neat stuff.

This new integration with GoogleMaps for GOOG-411 allows users to say “map it” during search-related phone calls, and receive a text message (or E-Mail) containing some details about their search and the results, but especially, links for the result’s locations on GoogleMaps, making them easier to find on the Internet, and then, in the real (Google)world.
