If it's only two miles away AND it's your favorite place....you should have the number memorized.
does it come up in the yellow pages web site that the widget refers to?sigamy said:
A widget's only as good as what it accesses!
Did you complain when you looked at that website and it wasn't there? hmm, no?

don't you have to pay to advertise in the Yellow Pages? So probably your fave pizza place just hasn't paid for the privelage?
wow, thanks for the help all.
Looks like the widget uses this DA+ web site and the pizza place isn't listed there. This one example is a very popular business that has been around for years. It does come up in Sherlock, which I use often to find businesses and services.
The point of the thread (which I did a terrible job making) was that the data coming back from the yellow pages widget is pretty incomplete. If you are searching for something that you've never looked up before, like a plumber or mechanic you probably won't get a very good list at all.
Off to find (or write) a better yellow page widget...
