How you compare to infoUSA

We, on the other hand, focus on the information that is found on websites. We believe that the Yellow Pages are old school. Today, if a company is worth calling - they should have a website. If they don't - we don't bother with attempting to find out information about them.

OneSource, an infoUSA company provides an excellent service. They have extended the reach of the infoUSA Yellow Pages information to attempt to get additional information for a limited group of people listed on websites.
