Tech: 1-800-GOOG-411

Today on my flight home from Oregon I learned about 1-800-GOOG-411 from Cali Lewis on GeekBrief.tv Brief #153.

I even used it today and it was super easy and fast. I was on my way back from the Airport and Allison wanted dinner from Fortune House. I didn’t have the number so I called 1-800-GOOG-411 and was connected and placing my order in about 30 seconds. So simple and totally free.

I swear that Cali has some of the best stuff online. If you are not watching her podcast then what are you waiting for? You can subscribe through iTunes. And you don’t need an iPod to watch you can watch through itunes or you can watch online at the GeekBrief.tv site as well as through Windows Media Player. There are no excuses for not being able to watch this podcast.

Podcast: TeXtra – Revisited

I have finally gotten a chance to watch this podcast. I don’t like it. There is something very off putting about the way the show is shot. It is too glam, the set and the makeup and that shiny lip balm are distracting. Natali Del Conte, the host, never quite looks at the camera and the angles that are shot are strange. It looks like she is having a conversation with someone off camera and I find it weird. I keep wondering, who is she talking to?

I gave this show a shot. I downloaded all the 18 current episodes and watched them. I am not going to subscribe to this show any longer. I just can’t get into it and I did my time.

Has anyone else watched this podcast? Do you agree or disagree. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Should I give it another shot?
