However, as the younger generation starts buying, they won't even consider looking into the YP to find info. It's just foreign to them. We're still in the infancy of online local search - with the best yet to come. Hey Greg – Happy TGiv,
I think Roger has a point. However, as the younger generation starts buying, they won’t even consider looking into the YP to find info. It’s just foreign to them. We’re still in the infancy of online local search – with the best yet to come.

I find it amusing that this kind of dribble about how "wonderful" and "effective" the local search sites are is always put out by sources directly tied to, and in competition with, the print Yellow Pages. No matter how much they shout it from their roof tops, local search is not in any way as comprehensive or as useful (or used) as the print book. I agree with Mike above.
