http://www.switchboard.com/ is a white pages directory. Basically, it's the Database America CD-ROM on the Web. The difference is, it's writeable, and free. Pretty cool. I don't think it was wise for them to allow anyone with an email address to change anyone else's white pages entry, though. Can anyone think of a prominent politician who would be in the phone book? The freeform "more information" field is just asking to be used. Potentially interesting applications for anonymous web proxies and secure pseudonym servers. At least they don't make direct changes to the database -- I'd guess they only set a flag to look in the separate user-supplied file. I.e., I changed my entry, then hit "unregister," and all the original information returned immediately. -rich
