I haven't touched a paper white pages in years, and the alternatives I've found online (whitepages.com, yahoo! people search) are all spammy and contain misleading advertisements which look like search results.

Are they really thinking they are living a secret life? Anyone can open a regular white pages phonebook and find their listing. So can their information be found with other online searches. What the heck is the problem? Same like people want their house to be blurred on Google Maps. Anyone can pass their house on the street and see it. I can't get over it. <br /><br />I was a frequent user of Google Phonebook, and now I'm really stuck! There must be a way of getting it back!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555962989251239249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-76489530953888713732010-11-30T12:16:55.859-08:002010-11-30T12:16:55.859-08:00I've used phonebook for years and really miss ...I've used phonebook for years and really miss itUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671406419989761108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-68681110340402281002010-11-16T12:06:35.781-08:002010-11-16T12:06:35.781-08:00Were the complaints the primary reason Google deci...Were the complaints the primary reason Google decided to pull the service?<br /><br />I lament the service's demise.Tom Reingoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18210010557421996209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-81692262665243050972010-11-16T11:23:05.421-08:002010-11-16T11:23:05.421-08:00Please, please bring it back!Please, please bring it back!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508183644259992246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-4228523090818984072010-11-16T08:08:58.902-08:002010-11-16T08:08:58.902-08:00It's interesting that the Emergency Search Fea...It's interesting that the Emergency Search Feature doesn't work in the US -- I guess someone decided that non-residents looking for help here would know that 911 is the US local number already (or wouldn't be using Google).Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929027237624370748noreply@blogger.com
