Does this mean it's going to Beta or skipping straight to being a fully fledged service? The logo still has the Labs icon in it for me...

GOOG-411 is simply the best 411 ever. And to top it all, its free.

If only G promoted it, it would be a killer app.

I wish they really clean up this webpage.

It's confusing and cumbersome to use. Who uses text message to click on a link?

So how do we notify Google of bugs in the 411 service? I was looking for a business in Sachse, Texas. It's pronounced SACK-see. It kept redirecting me to Houston, and I didn't know the zip code.

Does GOOG-411 really bring no income to the company? I had assumed that they got paid from the business everytime a call was directed to them through GOOG-411 or something.

For some reason, Google Reader is stuck in an old version for me. I can't see the search box, there's no offline option (and I do have Google Gears installed), and the logo is still the old version. Does anyone have a clue what's up with me?

I'm also having problems with Reader/Gears. I do have Gears installed, but Reader persists in telling me I don't. It had been working up until a few days ago, but now I see the original "Offline" link, instead of the arrow icons. I have tried re-installing Gears to no avail.

Is anyone else having this problem?

This was fixed for me this morning, along with another Reader bug I had.

Well, guess what? It's now working for me! The only sort-of bug is how the page doesn't load immediately after I go to it; the logo and bar show up first, then "Loading..." pops up a couple seconds later, and then the rest of the screen comes up.

I find if I access Reader over HTTPS, Gears works fine. However, if using just HTTP, Reader doesn't offer me the option to go offline. Odd.

Just to let you guys know, the labs page of Google 411 service is still available ;

The top navigation on Google Reader isn't appearing on my computer.

>> ... although I’m not seeing any links to these other services yet.

And it's still not showing on mine either.
