Last minute Holiday letter. Help me find friends addresses online without resorting to shill websites like 411.com and yahoo people search.

For some strange reason I don't keep an address book. I've always been able to look up addresses online free. Over the past year, services like 411.com and yahoo have been charging to show most search results even when there hasn't been an address change. Is there a reliable address search that doesn't charge?

Zabasearch is pretty reliable, although it will pull multiple old addresses, as well as the current one.

possibly dumb: can't you just email your friends for their email addresses?

Save electrons, just shout your letter out loud from the roof.
