Google Search by voice: Now in Times Square!

For the past couple of weeks, Google Search by voice is powering Times Square's largest combined displays, the Reuters Sign and the NASDAQ sign - on any day from 12:30-2:00pm or 6:30-8:00pm.

Anyone can call 888-376-4336 and say the name of a business or a location that they want to search for, like "museum of modern art" or "pizza". Then, the query and local search results from Google will appear on one of the two electronic billboards.

This is all part of Verizon's "Droid Does" campaign and has been developed in partnership with Reuters and R/GA, a digital advertising agency.
