Real-time results online sees decline in book directories

November 19th, 2008 by admin

With the internet being the main tool for finding information and people, are those big bulky directories on top of your fridge becoming irrelevant?

According to the Wall Street Journal, YellowPages may be facing extinction as more and more people shift to the internet to place ads and search for businesses and people.

With more people in the US with a social network profile than ever, there is an increase of people with an online web presence, making book directories seem out dated and irrelevant.  Since the US launch of 123people.com, the site receives on average 200,000 unique visits per day from users conducting me and you searches, to find emails, weblinks and social network profiles of old-friends and family members.  

123people makes life so much easier for you.
