    Default DMOZ Clone directory a waste of space?

    I wonder if I am the only one in finding open directory clone a complete waste of space, why do what someone else is already doing and doing better than you?

    The clone would have the edge if they actually included your site in a reasonable time frame. I actually think it has the potential to be a great idea.

    That is part of the annoying thing about it, they do not include your site, they just provide a link to DMOZ inclusion page when you try to include your site.

    We are building a directory based on ODp data. However we are moving a lot of categories around, scrapping some, and creating others to make it better than the mess it currently is. Also all submissions will be through us as it is only the data we are using, not a script that dynamically cals data from the ODp.

    The ODp is a great resource but it is seriously flawed (for reason best not gone into) But mainly poor/biased/no editors and thouusands of dead links.

    You are quite right OWG,
    BTW are you still involved with Skaffe or you have abandon that to concentrate on the one you are working on now.
    Is the name still confidential or are you able to share it with us now?
