No one knows it's point. Think of it as a white pages with virtually noone in it. You have to go and put your email on the service which means most don't so you won't find anyone you're looking for. As I said it doesn't have a point.

If not corporate, as David says, it has no point to you.

However, because you asked:

What are directory services?
A directory service is a powerful search tool that you can use to find
people and businesses around the world. The Address Book supports LDAP
(Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) for accessing directory services,
and it comes with built-in access to several popular directory services. You
can also add additional directory services from your Internet service
provider.

Like Internet search tools, directory services use different methods for
collecting data, so when you are trying to find people or businesses online,
you might try more than one service.
 
Thank you both for explaining this to me. I appreciate your help. That's
bugged me for a long time.
