Yellowlife

Yellow pages launched Yellowlife, which will spam you with advertisers junk if you register big life events with them. (marriage etc.). Sorry – it’s a tool to help you plan big events.

It’s a good idea in principle, and it is good to see a new site laucnhed. I do have three issues though…

1: I would not Telecom with any more of my personal details than I absolutely have to give. Telecom have a poor ‘brand’, but to be fair there really isn’t any institution that I would trust.

2: The site takes forever to load. Actually I had to refresh the homepage url 3 times before it would load, and one click from there gave me this: (then I gave up)

(my local Internet network is just fine thanks – I’m in France, not on XTRA)

3: Their advertising placement leaves something to be desired – should they really be associating with dodgy bittorrent sites? (The site below wanted to drop something horrid on my PC – lucky I have a mac.)
