White Pages May Go Way of Rotary-Dialed Phone
- wmeredith 16y agoIt's about time. I haven't cracked a phone book in 7 years, but I've thrown out about 10. They are not small books. (Kansas City)

- ghshephard 16y agoLikewise. Last time I used one to look up a person was probably around 1992-1994 - though I actually used the yellow pages (to find an emergency HVAC repair person) in 2003. I started getting free 411 service with my cell phone in 1998, so I'm pretty certain I've never used the white pages after that. I was in a cab recently, and asked him if he advertised in the Yellow Pages - he looked at me like I was a martian - "Everyone uses Google" was his feedback. (I'll admit that iPhone + GoogleMaps + Search is a pretty good replacement for the Yellow Pages - It's all I ever use now )
- ivenkys 16y agoWhy has this taken so long , why is this not self-evident ?
- InclinedPlane 16y agoOver the last few years I've grown more and more into the idea that the makers of white/yellow pages ought to be charged with littering for distributing their unnecessary, unwanted, and unused phone books to everybody's doorsteps.
