How to Use Yellow Book Widgets
Yellow Book is a directory of online business phone numbers. These businesses can be browsed through or searched by keyword or location. The name is derived from the section of the printed phone book where businesses normally advertise -- the Yellow Pages. Yellow Book now offers a free widget to allow fast and easy access to business contact information right from your desktop. The widget is available for three platforms: iGoogle Gadgets, Apple Mac and Windows Vista.
