The Ultimates

Scott Martin has developed a handy site called The Ultimates to help you contact people and businesses. With it, you can search several different reference sources by filling out one online form. It enables you to search White Pages, Yellow Pages, or e-mail directories through a common interface. Once you track down an address, you can even use the Ultimate Trip Planner to find maps and routes for getting there.

You can usually find a link on each Search Engine’s page for finding people. For instance:

Alta Vista's People Search (uses a link to Switchboard)
