I wonder what value such curation has in today's terms, even if it were for a niche category. Plus, how does a modern 'surfer' know what they don't know (a site that should be included but they haven't come across it yet)? Also, I wouldn't imagine there to be any sort of IP to such an idea, as the sites listed belong to other people/companies.

"Plus, how does a modern 'surfer' know what they don't know (a site that should be included but they haven't come across it yet)?" Yahoo had a form that allowed you to submit your site to be added to the directory. You included the URL and categories you would like to be listed in. It would then be evaluated and added by a Yahoo employee. It was one of the first things I would do after creating a new web site in the early 90s.
