OK, this is just one of the reasons why I still like Google….. A LOT. There little side research projects are better than many of the best startups. Here is one that I am talking about that you may not have heard of yet.

How cool and useful is that? I was involved in speech recognition technology way back in the 80’s and 90’s and it has finally come around. YEA. Talk about a great practical application. Never pay for 411 service ever again.I have been trying to get into as many Beta and Alpha projects that I can with Google and they have quite a few amazing things going on.

For instance we are in on the Beta Email program that allows you to have say Bob@IAmAninvestor.com and access it from anywhere in the world with a ton of razor edge features. If you want your own I Am An Investor email Click Here. We only have less than 500 available.

I also have been a big fan of Picassa as well. It will organize all of your pictures on your hard drive and it is a life saver. At last count I was pushing 50,000 photographs on just my one computer.

Anyway with projects like 800-GOOG-411 available for free, this is just another reason why I think Google is going to be a juggernaut for quite some time. Here is a link to their page for more info. http://www.google.com/goog411/
