There is something that seems to go hand in hand with technology geeks and caffeine. Maybe its the long nights spent in ICQ rooms talking to each other about the latest and greatest Linux hacks or possibly its just the fact that Starbucks has wi-fi? Even so, the majority of America it seems, not just us geeks, are addicted to Starbucks coffee.

So, its not a surprise that now you can find the nearest ‘Bucks’ location with just a few touches on your cell phone via a text message. Simply text your zip code to MYSBUX and it will send you back a message with three of the nearest Starbucks locations, including the addresses and phone numbers. All business travelers that are sick of bad coffee at the Motel 6 continental breakfast just leaped from their chairs. Its really that easy. And its a charge that is no different than a regular text. And for the text message challenged among us, feel free to just dial up your mobile phones browser to visit the new mobile Starbucks site.

But wait, driving through Mayberry and dont know the local zip code? No worries, just dial up 1-800-235-2883 (1-800-be-latte) to locate a store. And speaking of crack. Because thats really what coffee is right? If you are a Blackberry owner (aka Crackberry) and arent partial to only Starbucks, but cant possibly exist without a latte of some capacity, head over to CNET and download the Caffeine Finder for Blackberry for free. This will point you to the closest restaurant or cafe for a great cup of coffee. Find every major cafe or restaurant across the country from over 45,000 locations. Once you find where you want to go, ask Coffee Finder for a map, a review, and the address, all right from your phone or PDA.
