Hi Gail,

Don't you think it's odd that internet services advertise (and do well) in the Yellow Pages, when you think about it, to me anyway, the people who use books like that are those who don't understand that everything is available on the internet? Old habits die hard i guess, but i always look up the internet first for anything i need to know, anything at all like a movie i can't renmember the name of but know an actor who was in it, a song i just heard on the radio and can't think of the artist, for a recipe to use up all those lemons my mother-in-law keeps giving us, whats on television tonight, the list is endless...

It's funny y'now, bizarre actually, but yesterday i found a book in a bookshop that exclusively lists "the best" website addresses for a range of categories.

In response to the original question in this thread though, i'd say "Internet Services", as i've found that laypeople seem to use the word "internet" far more than they do the word "web".
