Okay, I should mention, that Google is currently developing dozens of new web applications, but this link that I am sending all of you is actually not a web application, but something that you can access from your mobile phone, that is going to cost the phone companies MILLIONS if not BILLIONS of dollars, because Google is doing something for free that is probably more user friendly than what the phone companies are charging a dollar per use. (That was not a run on sentence, so just walk away; nothing to see here.) I wouldn’t be surprised if there are tens of thousands of people who are spending dozens of dollars every month using 411, and here comes Googlemart, Walmart of the Internet, thunder-storming on their parade. Wow, the phone companies must be really mad at Google.

Something tells me that I should buy stock in Google. They just don’t seem to know how to quit making more and more totally user friendly web applications that everybody wants to use. They are like Walmart, for the Internet.
There is no such thing as a free phone call – not even for Google. Claiming that phone service is free is like saying that clicking on AdWords is free. To the consumer it may seem like it is free – but not for the advertiser. Let me let you in on a little secret – phone calls are not free. If there isn’t any profit motive – there is no motivation for profit.
I can assure you that figuring out who is going to pay is what is stalling the “revolution”.
