A French friend of mine told me about their awesome online yellow pages. I thought what's the big deal? Well the big deal is for the city of Paris, type any address and BAM, you not only get driving directions to that address, you also get a picture to that building!!! That's right, every building in Paris has its picture in the Yellow Pages. And the French are trying to do this for all of France. Check out this LINK? and be IMPRESSED! Ofcourse, you gotta know how to spell the street address properly to get a reply!!! So far they have 10 cities in their database... Nice, Lyon etc.

Another interesting option on the site, pay Euro1.50, type in a friend's name, and the search engine will recall all Cell #s, Business #s, Home #s belonging to that person...

Hmmm, that's pretty cool.

Makes it easier for the stalkers though, doesn't it?
