I say previously because with so many cell phones and the fact that most phone companies charge for directory assistance, I don't think 411 is used much anymore. But I still think "411" is ingrained in American slang as a synonym for information, which is why I chose it.

Do you think non-Americans associate "411" with information?

Thanks in advance for your input!
Means jack shit here in the UK, but thanks for clearing up what the phrase "Get the 411 on XYZ" means.

It's been a good day...
