White and Yellow Pages Online (Better Than the Phone Book)
The invention of the white pages online rivals that of being able to search people records. I rarely have to open a phone book, which is okay with me. I can typically find anyone I am looking for provided I have a last name, a city and a state. I have tried to search using just the state, but many times, I get far more hits than I care to look through. If I am looking for a business, or rather a category of businesses (ie: Mexican restaurants in Milwaukee, WI or churches in San Francisco, CA), I can enter the information and immediately receive a list that meets my criteria. This happens in a matter of seconds, saving me time.
