I still use them, but generally my fingers are doing the walking on a keyboard vs the yellow pages.

I still use them. When I can't find what I want I'll go on the computer.

Yikes, once again my answer is none of the above. I keep a new one, get rid of the old one, but never use them. I search online or use my vast supply of business cards collected over the years. Sometimes +1 likes to use it, so I just keep it for that reason.

I chuck them as soon as they get delivered. On-line is my preferred choice.

I'm pretty new to the Vintage forums, so you might see me popping in from time to time.

I've had my 2001 AP1 S for about 2.5 years and it's the best car I've ever owned (except for the audio system). I've dreamed of a sports car since I was at least 12, and this fits my dream perfectly.

Thanks for your opinions. I've been reviewing my yellow pages display ads and listings. I'm cancelling 2 contracts and only keeping one. i feel pretty much the same as everyone else.

Interestingly enough, at one time display yellow page advertising was one of my most expensive yet productive methods of advertising.

Don't think the yellow page rep likes me anymore.

I haven't paid for a yellow page ad for my business for probably 10 years or so. I'm still listed in the phone book, just as a one line listing that's free.

I've had various websites instead.

Be careful with the yellow pages web services. I haven't heard good things about them.
