Google’s directory assistance service always seemed a bit odd, like it didn’t quite fit in the pantheon of web based service. I mean, it was all about the phone! The phone? The phone! Anyway, now it’s going to die. Blinks out Friday. Weirdly, Google won’t say why they’re taking it down.
Marketplace is on a mission.
We believe Main Street matters as much as Wall Street, economic news is made relevant and real through human stories, and a touch of humor helps enliven topics you might typically find…well, dull.
Through the signature style that only Marketplace can deliver, we’re on a mission to raise the economic intelligence of the country—but we don’t do it alone. We count on listeners and readers like you to keep this public service free and accessible to all. Will you become a partner in our mission today?
