Today I posed this question to Twitter:
If you were Yellowpages, what would you do instead of send out 5 lb phone books? How would go greener/friendlier.
Pretty straightforward and I honestly expected more slamming on Yellowpages than actual answers. Color me surprised by my first three replies:
SgtHotpants – There should be an opt in/out for Yellowpages
TeriLussier – I’d have an opt out. saw the dumbest news story about an opt in, in SF. The folks who don’t want it should do the opting.
SuperMedia_Help – To opt out visithttp://bit.ly/a0TECO. Use Superpages.comhttp://bit.ly/bS7QV3 for online search – it has the SuperGuarantee!
Opt-out is the winner. But notice the third reply, it’s from SuperMedia_Help. These are the folks behind SuperMedia.com. Their reply is actually spot on topic.
The first link goes to Yellowpagesoptout.com. The site prompts for your zip code. It returns information for contacting your local yellow page directories. Spot on listing for my area.
Beyond opting out, the site provides information about recycling your yellow pages.
In the comments, please tell me if you’ve opted out, recycle, keeping the world’s largest yellow pages pile or what. Also what you’d see Yellowpages doing as a best path going forward.
