Bill Gross’ Idealab launches Insider Pages which takes a shot at local listings, combines it with a recommendation engine and adds a touch of social networking. Damn, that was my idea. Where did I put that napkin anyway?
If I were the Yellow Pages I would be worried. Very worried. They even use the Yellow Pages name (it’s not copyrighted is it?) in their tag line “Yellow Pages written by friends”

The yellow pages and us I suppose ( tribe.net )
Good point Eric. I suppose you could think of the traditional Yellow Pages as a top down, pay-to-play, print version of a social network. Portable too if you tear out the page on your way out the door 😉
