Google maps is amazing...

If you google BMW 10001

and occasinally menus
it just goes on and on.
and that's not to mention google mobile.
you can google people you meet at events on the fly and google will msg you back all thier info.
or google will send you directions
or google will give you local events/on goings.
etc etc etc
(don't even get me started on google desktop/gmail)
