Next, let's look at finding people who might not be
online, and move the search to online phone books (AKA white page directories).
- 411 White Pages
will search for someone's e-mail address. You can search by first
and last name, or conduct a more in-depth search by using City, State,
Country, Domain, and Company. You can choose to search by any of the
combination of the fields. 411 also supports a power search -- one
feature of which you can use is the "smart name" function, which recognizes
that Bob is the same as Robert. In addition, 411 has a yellow page
search. 411 will also let you search for a
phone
number. You can enter just a surname, a full name, or address
information. Results are displayed in a list, and you can obtain address
information by clicking on the individual you are interested in. If
you are searching for someone in Canada, try Canada
411.
- Infospace
White pages lets you search by first name, last name, city, and
state. Results are listed alphabetically, and by clicking on the More
button you can view a map of the area, find out what businesses are
nearby, send a card, and even get driving directions to that address!
- You can locate businesses as well using the Yellow
Page functions. I found that by choosing the yellow pages, then the
Business
by Category button, and entering in a city and state name I could
list all the cemeteries in the surrounding area.
