That's sad. Directories are super useful, especially to help with serendipity... you can't know what you don't now.

- rwbt 10y agoAre there any other active directories? Seems Yahoo Directory is also gone for good.
- kome 10y agoAs far I know, there are no other active directories.
- sebst 10y agoThere are plenty, but all of them are insignificant. What was special about DMOZ is that Google used their data for directory.google.com and used their description texts in some SERPs. That drove interest from SEOs to DMOZ, but imho DMOZ failed to deliver a decent user experience and to find answers to today's web (social media, real time, ...)
- fuck_google 10y agoIt is also sad that search hasn't evolved into something that would support unexpected discovery. Google et al. haven't really been able to provide solutions that would help in getting the big picture and guide you to find something interesting.
