You have got to check out this link. 11 Great Hidden Things Google Can Do that You Should Know. This documents 11 really useful things that Google does right from the search bar.

Take a look at them, notice particularly:

• Track UPS, FedEx, and USPS packages
• Current flight information
• Conversion: (currency, measurements, and translation)

I am a Google addict as you know, but just look at everything it does for us and you’ll understand why.

Also check out a free SMS (text message) service that google provides absolutely free. sms.google.com. You can get tons of information like directions, flight status, directory information, and my favorite – up to the minute sports scores – all when you’re out and about. All delivered right to your phone. *Note: There is no charge for this service. However, normal charges for your text messages apply. If you don’t have a text messaging plan for your cell, then the charge is probably between 10 and 25 cents per message each way (once out and once in).
