With my Sprint Palm Pre smartphone, I have access to bookmarking and utilizing applications. My friends who use other type phones, use the applications relative to their search. Broad searches that require quick facts pertaining to questions; they typically use a search engine like Google, Yahoo/Bing and Ask. Now for local business searches, many just use the Yellowpages.com application which is the most widely downloaded application for AT&T and the iPhones that they exclusively sell. Another exceptional benefit is, Yellowpages.com is mirrored by other sites like 411.com, AOL Yellow Pages and Mapquest. This increases the traffic to the “mother” database and is a more granular search comparatively to a Yahoo, Bing or Google. What that means is, for local leads, there is no more direct way to gain access than a Yellowpages.com advertisement.
