Did you know you can text Google while you’re out an about and they’ll text back with what you’re looking for? Whether it’s a map, a zip code, movie times or the number for closest Wal-Mart, they’ll send you a text back with the information in seconds. Ben showed it to me last night at the Fields’ house – I tried it today and swore I would tell everyone I could about it. Here you go – enjoy!
