Netscape Directory Making a Splash (TheStandard, December 14th)
Created in response to reports that leading directory Yahoo indexes less than 10% of the sites submitted to its directory, NewHoo (now the Open Directory Project) is a similar human-edited directory of websites, with a difference. The difference is that instead of being driven by a few hundred company employees, the Open Directory Project consists of thousands of volunteer editors, each of whom calls upon their passion for a particular topic in order to create a more expensive, and arguably more interesting, directory of online content and services.
