kwburke Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 After searching DMOZ, it appears the most pertinent category would be: Business: Industries: Manufacturing: Electronics: Distributors and Vendors. Yet I can not find the category Industries under Business. Could someone send a blind man the link? Thanks.
Meta icxcnika Posted March 20, 2003 Meta Posted March 20, 2003 You'll have to give us another hint. The Business category was recently re-organized, and electronics was combined with electrical. If you're a wholesaler, the most generic category is http://dmoz.org/Business/Electronics_and_Electrical/Wholesale_and_Distribution/ If you or your client/friend/family member specialize in a particular kind of electronics, we may be able to nudge you closer to the perfect spot.

kwburke Posted March 20, 2003 Author Posted March 20, 2003 Thanks. I just posted the location from the suggestion in DMOZ. The website is of a electronic component distributor.\THANKS
Meta icxcnika Posted March 20, 2003 Meta Posted March 20, 2003 OK! Wholesale distributors of electronics components are in http://dmoz.org/Business/Electronics_and_Electrical/Components/Wholesale_and_Distribution/ . Except for businesses specializing in semiconductors. There is a link to the correct category if that is the case. Curlie volunteer meta editor icxcnika
dfy Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 >> I just posted the location from the suggestion in DMOZ << Can you remember where you saw that suggestion? I'm guessing that it was in a category description somewhere. If you can let me know, I can go and correct it so that others won't have the same problem you did. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
kwburke Posted March 20, 2003 Author Posted March 20, 2003 here is the URL from where it was mentioned: http://www.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/add.cgi?where=Business/Electronics_and_Electrical/Components And what it said: Business: Electronics and Electrical: Components This category includes listings for manufacturers of electronic, electromechanical, and electro-optical components. Distributors should be placed in : Business: Industries: Manufacturing: Electronics: Distributors and Vendors Hope it helps. You guys (and gals) do a great job.
dfy Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 I've updated the category to give the correct information. Thanks for letting us know about it. <add> Oops. <img src="/images/icons/blush.gif" alt="" /> I hope motsa didn't fix it before me, or I've overwritten what he did. Either way, it's fixed now. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> </add>
motsa Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 Yup, you overwrote me -- doh! Oh, well. All that matters is the category link is now correct. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
giz Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 rfgdxm: >> I've overwritten what he did << As far as I know, Motsa is a she. <img src="/images/icons/shocked.gif" alt="" />
dfy Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Blast! So she is. <img src="/images/icons/blush.gif" alt="" /> I'm always getting genders mixed up here and in the ODP fora. Sorry again. Though you seem to be pointing that remark at rfgdxm, so maybe I don't need to worry after all.
Guest rfgdxm Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 rfgdxm: >> I've overwritten what he did << HEY, time out! *I* didn't right that. You've blamed the wrong person for giving an editall an online sex change operation. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />
motsa Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 And here I was trying to be polite by not mentioning it. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />
giz Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 And there's me blaming rfgdxm as I know that dfy doesn't make mistakes <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Actually I had just read several posts in a row by rfgdxm, both here and on WW, and just got caught in a rut assuming he wrote everything. <img src="/images/icons/confused.gif" alt="" />
kwburke Posted March 21, 2003 Author Posted March 21, 2003 Thanks. I hope my submission goes as quick. <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />
