Introducing the Hot New Social Network, PhoneBook
Allows User to Call Friends, Speak to Them!


SILICON VALLEY (The Borowitz Report) – A new social network is about to alter the playing field of the social media world, and it’s called PhoneBook.

According to its creators, who invented the network in their dorm room at Berkeley, PhoneBook is the game-changer that will leave Facebook, Twitter and even the much anticipated Google Buzz in a cloud of dust.

“With PhoneBook, you have a book that has a list of all your friends in the city, plus everyone else who lives there,” says Danny Fruber, one of PhoneBook’s creators.

“When you want to chat with a friend, you look them up in PhoneBook, and find their unique PhoneBook number,” Fruber explains. “Then you enter that number into your phone and it connects you directly to them.”

Another breakout utility of PhoneBook allows the user to arrange face-to-face meetings with his or her friends at restaurants, bars, and other “places,” as Fruber calls them.

“You will be sitting right across from your friend and seeing them in 3-D,” he said. “It’s like Skype, only without the headset.”

Funny though.

WTF. Then came back to check again. It had me going...

Almost as bad a personal information risk as Facebook, but people actually use Facebook.

For some reason.

Reality-based.:)

I much prefer to have to speak to anyone directly or ever have to see anyone in person. I'm just not sure of the point anymore now that I can see what they're up to WITHOUT all of that hassle of dialing and sh*t.

I use them on almost a daily basis.

And I absolutely HATE the useless Online Yellow Pages

The print is so small, I prefer to look them up online..and for banks it's especially helpful

the phone book only lists the toll free robot number, but online when you look up the banks it lists them by branch and gives the local branch phone numbers:)..no robots.. real people pick up the phone:)

I've lost one eye to glaucoma, and the other one sometimes feels like a worn-out, deflated patched-up retread.

I qualify for a pot license, but I actually don't enjoy getting high anymore. There was a time in life where I would've been living in the pot clubs.

As time goes by . . .
