AOL.com: Top 25 Things Vanishing From America: 24. Yellow Pages

It's a pivotal time for the global Yellow Pages industry. Much like newspapers, print Yellow Pages will continue to bleed dollars to their various digital counterparts, from Internet Yellow Pages (IYPs), to local search engines and combination search/listing services like ReachLocal and Yodle.
