  1. Phone books are being delivered around Australia but does anyone still use them?

    Once the size of an encyclopedia volume, the humble phone book has gone from being an indispensable part…

  3. ⬆️ >> #Developers writing scripts for the demise of the #web, competing vigorously with one another (and with #AI), crafting one outrageous experience after another— dying to win.

    Most of the "modern" web is now just the old #YellowPages masquerading as a #news and #entertainment source.

    At least the Yellow Pages were not behind #paywalls and did not require #IDVerification.

    >> The more the #web gets harder to use like requiring #javascript, or making you prove you're not a #bot etc, the less I care for what it was I wanted to look at, and I'm now feeling that as a release. I'm slowly going back to the 'real' world 😊

    #Developers writing scripts for the demise of the web, competing vigorously with one another (and with #AI), crafting one outrageous experience after another— dying to win.

    I never used the #YellowPages for engagement.

    Why should I now?

  19. @atpfm @marcoarment Total coincidence, but a new (really thin) edition of the Yellow Pages just arrived after 5 (or 10?) years and I was just browsing it for fun & nostalgia when your episode mentioned it AS IF IT DIDN’T EXIST how offensive, I’m right here, etc 🥰 #yellowpages

  24. Using the #1MinuteCriteria for websites to provide simple, non-sensitive information.

    It took less than one minute to reach for the #WhitePages or #YellowPages and find the street address of a business or bank branch.

    Why am I going to waste any more that 1 minute of my time fooling about with some cryptic and puerile website trying to get basic info?

    I #JustPhoneThem after that.

  29. Before moving to greener (and higher-paying 🤑) pastures, one of my two big "technical assistant" projects for #Comcast #Cellular was upgrading the engineers' Sun #Unix workstations from the #BSD-based #SunOS 4 to #SVR4-based SunOS 5 (#Solaris 2), and from #NIS / #YellowPages to NIS+.

    In hindsight, it was a bad idea to make both changes at once, but I was a kid entranced by novelty and not yet very considerate of my users during the inevitable downtimes. (3/6)

  34. (1/2) #ICYMI: If you hate AI powered search engines and prefer a more humanized and alphabetical index of sites, well, why not go to The Blue Pages!

    The Blue Pages aims to be a web directory that:
    - Relevant to one's interest
    - Could be used by literally everyone (except corporations)
    - Go with the spirit of Web 1.0

    It is a pure curated index, no scrappers, no algorithms, no bullshit.

    Why not go there on: blue-pages.bitbucket.io now!

  39. We received a Yellow Pages directory (!) in our physical mailbox yesterday. Today I learned that there’s a way to prevent future deliveries using a maliciously compliant method and message:

    delivery.yp.ca/discontinue

    That’s Employee of the Month material right there!
