“Netscape’s Open Directory is the first Internet directory
search service built by the Web community at large and is an easy
and fast way to find information relevant to users needs. Unlike
closed proprietary directories that rely on small in-house
editorial teams, the Open Directory empowers the Web community to
review and categorize sites based on their area of interest and
expertise. The Open Directory offers 675,000 sites in over 100,000
categories from 229 countries in 44 languages, and is available
today at http:/dmoz.org.
“The growth of the Open Directory demonstrates the power of the
open source movement and the enthusiasm of the Web community,” said
Barry Schuler president of the AOL Interactive Services
Division.”
