The Chainlink

A bike guide will be included in the new AT&T Real Yellow Pages for
Madison/Dane County. The guide will be distributed to 650,000 homes and
businesses. Check out the guide at
http://www.cityofmadison.com/mayor/documents/GOGOlogos.pdf.

Wouldn't it be nice if a similar guide was included in the next edition
of Chicago's Yellow Pages. Do you know anyone at Illinois AT&T that
could help make this happen? Do you have any suggestions how to make
this happen?

Feel free to widely distribute this e-mail. Replies should be sent
directly to me.

Thanks,

What are these "Yellow Pages" you speak of. I know of google, yahoo, and the internet...

Seriously speaking though, I don't think I've used the yellow pages since 1993. when I was 9.
I appreciate the intention here, but it would be REALLY nice if they stopped delivering yellow pages to people who have not requested them. It's a ridiculous waste of paper.
The last batch (200) of delivered phone books in my building ended up in the dumpster after few days.
AT&T Phone books
and this is your computer being "recycled" over charcoal in china after you've googled all your directions

and this is the manliest unicycle ever.

Yes, I agree the Yellow Pages are a complete waste paper. Last year when they were delivered kids in my neighborhood ripped them up and threw them out on the sidewalk leaving the streets full of yellow paper trash for weeks.
I'm not sure what the contest was, but Jon just won.
I don't think we're disagreeing with each other... but every single one of those things you listed is also wasteful and unnecessary.

I can agree with that, no request no delivery.. But its no more waste then paper towels, paper napkins, paper bags, newsweek and the weekly world news.
