Kirb’s Musings

Kirby Witmer’s ponderings, ruminations, and meditations of… anything.

I knew for some time that if you entered a phone number into Google, it would display a name and address but I just discovered that you don’t need to know their phone number to find their address. Here is what Google’s Help says:

To find listings for a US residence, type any of the following combinations into the Google search box:

• first name (or first initial), last name, city (state is optional)
• first name (or first initial), last name, state
• first name (or first initial), last name, area code
• first name (or first initial), last name, zip code
• phone number, including area code
• last name, city, state
• last name, zip code

That’s just awesome! On a side note, Microsoft’s Live Local has a similar feature.
