The Yellow Pages book is No Longer Useful An irrelevant book landed on my doorstep. Who still uses the Yellow Pages to find anything nowadays? It’s ridiculous the amounts of money small businesses fork out to get into a book no one reads. YellowPages.com makes sense, but why waste so much money on books that people use as firewood or as a monitor/laptop stand? When I’m looking for food/restaurants in Ballard, I go to Yelp When I’m looking for a lawyer regarding car accidents, I go to Avvo When I’m looking for Seattle cooking classes, I go to TeachStreet Tell me if I’m wrong, but I use the internet all the time when searching for services or businesses. They’re more up to date, and have a wealth of information. In the era of information, I wouldn’t see why anyone would use the Yellow Pages (unless you don’t have access to internet). Question: Do you still use the Yellow Pages for your searching needs?
