Re: DMOZ Delists Sites for Sale
ODP represents the height of hypocrisy.
First of all it's not open. I have been trying for years for someone over there to list one of my sites and all I get back from them is a long hollow echo. It's interface hasn't changed in years. Having no update in years means that as a directory, it is woefully out of date and provides no real directory service at all.
Add to that the stories about volunteer editors requesting payment to list and the fact that at some point it featured very highly in getting google listed this adds corruption to the "open" directory.
I get the solid impression that there is one kid in a Harry Potter outfit zapping things with his wand ....blessing whom He will bless and cursing those he will curse and giggling in a girlish glee. To expect resonableness, professionlism or even maturity from this kid seems a little beyond the reach of rationality
I'd like to know how much "cred" DMOZ still has with google.
