UNIONDALE, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
As part of Yellowbook's recent campaign launch, a new microsite,
SayYellowToTheFuture.com, is unveiled today so visitors and customers
can view, download and share the new and entertaining TV commercials.
In addition, the microsite links to Yellowbook's YouTube channel to
engage and connect with the YouTube community. Both the microsite and
YouTube channel enable Yellowbook to tap into the viral nature of the
web, engaging millions of people in the social networking and social
media communities.

   SayYellowToTheFuture.com includes information about Vadim
Perelman, acclaimed Hollywood director of Oscar-nominated "House of
Sand and Fog," and Blanca Soto, former Miss Mexico World, who is
featured in one of the spots looking for a clean slate from an
embarrassing tattoo. The site also provides information on the
company's print and online products and directs users to
yellowbook.com to help them search "for what they are really looking
for."

   From SayYellowToTheFuture.com, visitors can also click through to
Yellowbook's YouTube channel, YouTube.com/yellowbookvideo, to watch,
share and comment on the TV spots. Visitors can also access the
commercial spots directly from YouTube by entering the search words,
"Say Yellow to the Future."

   The campaign microsite and YouTube channel were developed to
capture online interest and searches and to enable Web 2.0 sharing
with friends, family and coworkers. Visitors can also download the TV
commercials onto their iPod or mobile devices right from the
microsite.
