GOOG 411 doesn’t understand “liberry”

Google just launged GOOG 411. I tried it out, asking for pizza in the area, and it found 8 listings. I called back, this time asking for “library,” and it said, “It looks like you’ve found an error in the system. It has been reported. Goodbye.” I called again, this time being careful not to slur my speech, and it gave me 8 libraries, listed by phone (which meant SGRL was listed three times).

So give it a whirl (from a public phone, preferably), and see what kooky answers you get when you don’t enunciate!

edit:  Ok.  So I’m way behind the times.  They launched it last month.  I guess I’m still catching up from Spring semester…
