my experience is simply bad, In 1998 and few years after this directory was clear and really good.
Now its not representing any longer what´s good and new on the web. My newer and much better sites with advanced technology (all travel related online booking systems with high PR) never made it in while the "old" ones still hang on. After submitting the my 5 new sites two years ago they are not in but alot of garbage can be found which made it in instead.

Its now a useless and if they continue as they do - they will dissapear sooner or later.
