I am so confused, I wanted to get my Web Site and my partners Web Site listed for a long time now. I've been told by so many people it was the one directory you had to get on. If Google respected you guys so much before, why have they dropped you like a stone now? Google should appreciate all the hard work humans have put into the curation of sites like Dmoz. With Google Adwords being their cash cow, they are not interested in anything which could be seen as quality standard which is not their own? I don't know, we needed sites like Dmoz, to standard up with quality so it's not always just about quantity. Dmoz was a shining reminded of the early days of the internet, and should have remained? My partner and I can remember the very early days of dial-up. He's a little older than me, but 56K moderns had a heart warming sound to it, of busted up technology. That said, way before the days of broadband, sites like Dmoz helped us find great content. There is still a place for this on the internet, I guess maybe some innovation from Dmoz was required in the end.
What plans do you guys have now? Maybe you should of diversified earlier, like Best of the Web Looks like they have tried to tackle this problem, with a long-term view of the future.
All the best guys,
