Find Old Friends Using Online Phone Book Directory Information

Last month I had a rare Saturday afternoon with nothing to do, so I decided to surf the Internet.  I happened to see the name of an old friend in an article and decided to see if I could locate his phone number.  When I searched Phone book directory information online, I actually found his address, phone number, and a map to his home.  While I was on the site, I looked up a few other people, some in different cities.  After finding all but one, I called my old friends and last week we all met for dinner.  Who knew technology could be so personal?
