….. lets you search without typing

I am on the road again and enjoying some time with my family as we head on our journey. When time allows, I am reading my feeds and just ran into this cool, item that was worth stopping for to find a hotspot and post. It is very cool and a hidden gem!

ZDNet.com had a piece about Google adding a new entry into their robots.txt file — one way you can keep tabs on what Google doesn’t want to see. The new entry that forbids crawlers from seeing http://www.google.com/m/lcb made Garrett Rogers naturally curious.

Well I was curious too and tried it. I entered the zip code we were in and it very quickly let me browse through categories of businesses without you having to type a word. So we are now at an Italian restaurant eating a great lunchthanks to Google.

Give http://www.google.com/m/lcb a try … it is very nice!
