Google adds voice to local searches

Google’s been very careful to optimize their services for the mobile device user and the latest addition to the Google repertoire might be the best tool yet.  Google Vocal Local Search does exactly what it sounds like it would do and lets the road warrior do searches for local attractions by voice.  Looking for the nearest pizza joint?  Just dial 1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411) which starts a series of questions which you answer vocally until Google determines exactly what you want to find.  The service is free and when GVLS finds the business you want it will even dial it for free.
