Google introduced on Tuesday two new search options for mobile phones.

One feature lets people with browser-enabled mobile phones use Google Local — a Web directory of local businesses and sights — by typing in a name and US ZIP code. Using the second feature, people in the United States can text message Google SMS with the short code "46645" to receive driving directions to most locations in North America. The services build on Google's existing mobile search efforts, which were launched in 2001. The Mountain View, California-based company lets people search its Web and images index from mobile devices. It introduced SMS search late last year.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
