Google Launches PhoneBook

Google ( http://www.google.com ) now offers a phone number lookup via their search engine. Enter someone's name and state (abbreviation), and you'll get phone number listings if they're available. 

Before you get started, I noticed that this search does not work using the "Bork Bork Bork" interface. I tried it using Opera and Bork Bork Bork, and it didn't work. Tried the same search using Mozilla and the standard English interface, and it worked fine. So if you don't see the phone numbers, go to the plain English interface. Enter the person's name and state -- like John Smith CA. If there are phone numbers available they will be put at the top of the search results. If they're not, you'll just get the Web results you'd normally get by searching for +John +Smith +CA. 

If you don't want your phone number listed, Google offers a form by which you may ask to have it removed from their search. It's available at  http://www.google.com/intl/en_extra/help/pbremoval.html.
