Now new sites are appearing so fast, that DMOZ can't keep up. Additionally site submission and editor access were down and inaccessible for about 6 months! Its a great snapshot of what were important and relevant sites years ago, but it has become a dinosaur in terms of usability. I doubt google, Yahoo or MSN, are stupid enough to still consider a listing in the dmoz as a highly important attribute to the quality of a site. Its time to move on to more advanced projects on the web. DMOZ was a great idea in 1996! Now new sites are appearing so fast, that DMOZ can’t keep up.
