the service was being beta tested in a few areas to see how well it would work sine it is automated and there is almost NO human interaction on their end of the 411 at all

Or you can just text google with the business name and city/state and they’ll text you back the search results. I use it almost everyday.
EDIT\* the video just loaded and I see they do mention the text feature.

Yea this service has been around for about a year. It works pretty good once you get used to it. Also, I enjoy having it send me a text message with places I look up with the name, number, and address too.
