Google University
Google has a page at Google.com/university that has links to all things Google that could prove useful to college students. Included are links to Gmail, Google Talk, Google SMS, Google Maps, Google Toolbar, Google Scholar and Picasa, as well as some tips for using Google. Students can also get a Gmail account just by giving any .edu email address.

4INFO (shortcode 44636) has a similar text message offering, but provides a few services that Google does not: sports scores (”packers” “nfl”), fantasy stats (”joe crede” “priest holmes”), flight times (”swa san jose san diego”) and a beta version of mobile download search. All these services can be accessed via sms (44636), wap (http://wap.4INFO.net ), or email to search@4INFO.net.
Why 4INFO instead of Google?
“When asked recently for the address of a trendy downtown Manhattan club called Butter, both 4Info and Yahoo! located it on the first try. But Google sent back results better suited to baking.”
