InternetNews: New Google Shortcuts Tie Into Paid Listings

It's getting to the point where Google can tell users about any string of text or numbers. Of course they will also serve up some highly-targeted ads at the same time. Now, in addition to tying phone number into Google (to get names and addresses), users can also enter VINs (automobile IDs) USPS tracking numbers, or the bar code UPCs from your SpaghettiOs. Users may wonder what they will add next: Social security numbers? Oops, that's Experian.
