Thanks DMOZ

August 31st, 2006

I submitted this blog to the Open Directory Project (DMOZ) about 10 days ago. I was surprised to see the following referrer this morning - http://editors.dmoz.org/editors/editunrev.cgi?site=235204&cat=Computers/…

So it looks like an editor was taking a peek at the blog. I stroll over the the applicable category, and booya. There’s my listing three quarters of the way down. Pretty responsive review for a free submission.

I am going to take a pretty unpopular stance here - I like DMOZ. I think they’re great, and not just because they accpeted my blog. I think they almost embody the best of what the web can be. I know they have some flaws, and that there are a few bad apples (maybe a bushel). Overall though, I still feel they are the best directory online, though I do know of another directory biting at their heels.
