Coolest Google invention ever, in my opinion:

Google SMS

Essentially, you send a query to the Google shortcode (46645, or GOOGL — US only, dammit) and it returns you answers for your query. Too kool for skool!

From the site:

Why should I use Google SMS? * Get local business listings when you’re on the road and want to find a place to eat * Compare online product prices with ones you find in retail stores * Look up dictionary definitions to expand your vocabulary or prove a point * Find other specialized types of information, as described in how to use Google SMS

I like how one of the main purposes for the dictionary is to “prove a point.” Damn techies and their one-upping tendencies.
