Scoble notes that many people don't use the Yellow Pages anymore:

Geoff reports he doesn’t. I don’t even know where mine are. I’d hate to work there, although there’s still money left in that old model cause there’s still lots of people who don’t look to their computers for everything.

Most of those people, though, are older than me. That means that business model has 20 years left in it, if that.

It really depends on what you're looking for. Need an electrician to come out and look at something? You can waste time in Google trying to narrow the search, or you can open the big yellow book to "E", and find what you need in seconds. For an awful lot of local businesses - electricians, plumbers, that kind of thing - the Yellow Pages are still far more efficient.
