Eliminate Yellow Pages

When I was a motorcycle courier for a Century City law firm, the Thomas Guide was invaluable -- in fact most directions and destinations were given in T.G. map coordinates. But that was ... let's see ... fifteen years ago.

Now, if a business doesn't have a Web presence -- at the bare minimum, a listing in Google Maps/Local -- they're dead to me. I have Google Maps on my GPS-enabled phone, plus GPS in my car. Why do I need a thick wad of dead tree?
