What happened with Infospace FindIt
All,

This app was so sweet and popular. What was the reason for infospace to stop it or sell it? Anyone have some insight here?

I have used berry411 and the interface is painful!

I think it was bought out, then the service stopped working.

Yah, Superpages bought it, but anyone know why it was sold? I had the feeling there were a lot of users ...maybe 100,000?

Superpages Mobile 2.0.5 (http://wap.superpages.com/l.htm) is the latest version of the successor to FindIt -- FindIt was a better app, IMO.

I agree Visor, this version from Superpages is not like we were used to with infospace.

What about the others. Windows Live..anyone use that and like it? As far as I know our options are

1. Berry411
2. Superpages
3. Windows Live.

Any others?
