Talk:Directory assistance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Why is the topic Open_Directory_Services_Interface linked to Directory assistance. I tought this would be a discussion on Open Directory access protocols ie LDAP.

Notes for future improvement:
- the article should emphasize that 800-411-METRO is a product of InFreeDA, Inc.
- another free DA provider is 800-FREE411 (Jingle Networks, Inc.)
- however, this article should not become a directory of free DA providers; perhaps another article should be created for this purpose?
- might want to add some comments on the cellular white pages project and Verizon's role in mostly blocking it from happening.

[edit] A web site can be a directory enquiry.
A directory enquiry is defined as "a telephone call one can make ..." whereas a web site can be a directory enquiry too.
[edit] Complete rewrite needed
My apologies to the contributors to this article, but as it presently stands, I consider it hideous. It seems to have a lot of irrelevant information, and doesn't "flow" like an article should. I can't see salvaging what's already there, but rather starting from scratch. Let's see if we can amass some references and write a new article from the ground up.
I was a DA operator for five years, and so I have some concept of what directory assistance is about from both sides of the line. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
