Q: Are my girlfriend Google and I joining the Mile High Club?

NEW! The Answer May Surprise You reads all 35,000 official Google blogs — so you don't have to! In most circumstances, official Google blog updates comprise wholly non-essential news (e.g., Google AdWords is pleased to introduce a support forum for our native Inuit users! or Help! My obscure Brazilian company was just bought out by Orkut, and I'm drowning in fucking money!).

Every now and then, something legitimately useful — mayhaps even paradigm-shifting — sneaks through. T.A.M.S.Y filters the goods into a new feature we call The Savvy Googler.

A: That was certainly a long intro there. Not long enough to justify the day's first post going up at 3pm, but still. Anyway, what were we talking about?

Oh right, my blistering lust for Google, on a plane. The answer to your question is yes. Especially if your question specifically referred to whether it were now possible to text message your flight number to GOOGLE (466453) and receive real-time status info.
