While it's not the general Yellow pages or the national 411 directory, 
we're about a week and a half (fates and holiday-schedules willing) away 
from launching the public beta for a service called VoIPMagnet, which is 
an opt-in global directory service. It's mostly geared toward VoIP 
users, allowing you to enter in your information (name, voip service 
provider, username/number/URI, other contact info such as mobile number, 
etc), choose what of it you want to be public, what you want private, 
what you want friends-only for other friends on the service. Each bit of 
information can be tailored to classes of visibility, and you can mark 
whether this is a business or personal number so when you're searching 
businesses, you only get business numbers, personal, only personal 
numbers, etc, etc.

When things get up and running in beta (and when I say beta, I mean a 
pretty rough beta, as our UI has yet to be finalised, but the 
functionality is there), I'll let you know. It'll be a good way to get 
the information out there and visible (or visible to whomever matters to 
you), and we'll most certainly need people as guinea pigs. ;)
