A new directory has been introduced to make corporate Web page and e-mail contact information available online and in printed format.
The new directory, BluePages, is described as an easy-to-use reference for people looking for Web addresses, business e-mails and personal e-mails of listed companies. BluePages is produced by an independent company, Web Directory South Africa, and is supported by the SA Post Office and the Department of Communications.
The BluePages printed version will be available free of charge from the Post Office soon. The online directory (www.bluepagessa.com) is searchable by company name, description, keywords or area. It also carries a brief description of the listed company, and a hyperlink to the site of the business subscriber. The personal directory will allow for a search for individuals in listed companies. BluePagessa.com is e-commerce enabled, and allows clients to list and pay online. Thawte encryption safeguards are built into the design for security.
Both the online and printed versions of the BluePages carry the Web addresses of SA companies across more than 200 categories, from restaurants and tourism, marketing services to financial services, and beauty/fashion/health to professional practices.
Says BluePages CEO Ruth Munitz: "BluePages is a dynamic new medium, and we foresee constant growth and enhancement. The availability of both online and printed versions creates a gateway for everyone, whether they have been using the Internet for years or are beginners."
