Google Maps lets you "Click-to-call"
Google is about to announce their "Click-to-call" functionality on Google Maps for the United States. Justin Uberti, Googler in Kirkland Washington, slips out some juicy details with a screenshot that some people might already be seeing. He says the rollout is not 100% complete, so we should be looking for more updates to happen tomorrow.
Windows Live Local has had this feature for months now, but I find it a bit useless living in Canada — for Americans though, I can see how this would be very useful. Ordering pizza is as easy as searching for "pizza" and clicking "Connect for free" — hopefully in version two they will pay for the food too.
