The phonebook one-box item gets triggered if you enter a phone number that is listed. For instance, I can do this google search and get the Disney result: google.com/search?hl=en&lr ... |
I use the one-box a lot, i've just never seen that page. |
one step closer to G-Call? ;)
and how come Google provides other maps services? like Yahoo! maps and MapQuest? (in addition to Google Maps?) |
<< one step closer to G-Call?
the feature is old
<<and how come Google provides other maps services?
more options to the users |
They do that with many things – Finance for example. The reason is simple – they linked to Yahoo etc. before Google Maps were created. So they couldn´t simply remove those links without bad publicity. |
That's not new.
<<I use the one-box a lot, i've just never seen that page.
I seen it alot, I used to check on my friends' numbers. The info Google use is not up-to-date, use phonenumber.com instead. |
<< << one step closer to G-Call?

Btw, MSN Search just introduced a new feature.
The new service (beta) allows a user to search the MSN Local Search Database, then, after fiding listing, simply enter your phone number and the number in the listing is dialed for you. About 5 seconds later your phone rings and whatever number your dialing is ringing.
Run any search for a business here:
local.live.com
and look for the Call for Free Link.
