More Google Tricks

Following on this earlier entry, here are some more cool Google tricks you can use to win friends and influence people:

  • Vehicle ID numbers(VINs)
    example search: "AAAAA999A9AA99999"
  • UPC codes (cool -- don't forget the leading 0 or trailing 4)
    example search: "028000010874"
  • Telephone area codes ("where is this caller id from?")
    example search: "224"
  • Airport delays
    example search: "ord airport"
  • Flight status
    example search: "united 11"

Reference page for all of this stuff is still at Google Web Search Features.
