Le principe est de donner des renseignements téléphoniques et ne pas facturer la personne qui appelle, de ne pas inonder les médias avec des pubs pour recevoir des appels payants, de vendre à des annonceurs des contacts qualifés. Cela leur coûte 25 cents par appel et ils comptent bientôt faire 50 cents par appel. Il y a un très bon podcast de Techcrunch d’une demi heure avec le George Garik le CEO de Jingle Networks qui définit les renseignements téléphoniques comme un média et un formidable gisement de prospects intéressant pour les entreprises. Il suffit de bien analyser ou est la valeur de l’entreprise pour avoir un business model attrayant ou au contraire destiné à disparaitre (17 numéros de renseignement ont disparu dans les derniers mois). Alors comment est que cela se fait que si peu de monde se rappelle bien de l’histoire de la poule aux oeufs d’or, du poisson doré et du pêcheur?  Je sens que je vais monter un podcast de contes pour enfants pour rafraîchir la mémoir des adultes.

I have been using it for nearly a month now after a collegue of mine forwarded it along to me in an email. Naturally, I was suspect but, to my surprise it delivered as promised. I've since passed it on to virtually everyone I know. Might as well spread the wealth. I've never had any issues with it. Works just like you'd expect it to. I'm always behind a company that offers a good service to the public free of charge.

Both the business model and the underlying premise are sound, and it's only a matter of time before advertisers understand the potential and get involved to a larger degree. In time, Free411's database will expand, also. While Google and a couple others are messing about with text- and PDA-based directory assistance (which are inevitably smaller markets), Free411 will actually be in full swing, making money and becoming a household name -- which is like landing on the moon while your competition is still building rockets in the backyard.

I thought that this might be great, but after trying to get two local listings in NYC and having two failed attempts im not so sure. With the full name of a pizza shop and a diner I was unable to get the numbers I needed and they didn't offer an option to go back to the operator. Keep it in mind for the future, but for now I am a 4INFO Guy. I like 4INFO, no ads just info.
