Google Now Allows You To Check whether Stock Is Available Nearby
Have you ever been in a scenario where you google for an item online, find it at a store nearby, fight through traffic to get there, only to find out that it’s out of stock? Well, Google is looking to help you tackle that issue, with its latest “In stock nearby” feature for mobile devices. When searching for products sold by participating retailers (Best Buy, Sears, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery barn and West Elm), whether there is a blue dot next to the item, you can visit on the “In stock nearby” link to check whether the item is “In stock” or has “Limited Availability” near you (as lengthy as you’ve enabled My
Location or manually specified your location). It’s currently available for iPhone, webOS and Android-powered devices, though there isn’t any mention of Windows Mobile in the official post, is that a sign of things to come? whether you’re a retailer and want to participate in that program, Google has a form that you can fill out to be considered.Permalink: Google Now Allows You To Check whether Stock Is Available Nearby from Ubergizmo | RSS Sponsor: Win a Fellowes Microshred Paper Shredder!
