It`s hardly a secret that I`ve been a harsh critic of DMOZ (The Open Directory Project). Well now it appears thye`re no longer showing up in the search results. You can read about it here:

I agree with nichole, DMOZ has been pretty much worthless for a while now. 
They have not been able to keep up with the internet or never really tried too.

That`s funny, Nikole. Last month when I started a thread stating that DMOZ was irrelevant, you had an entirely different opinion.

Like I said in my last post, they never tried to keep up with internet.  They sat in their "Glass" houses and who knows what they really did.

Now as a last ditch attempt nearing the end of 2007, they have decided to build a blog.  Do you think that their corrupt editors will finally listen?  Check out their blog: http://blog.dmoz.org/

DMOZ is irrelevant, dinosaured, and dead.  Don`t waste your precious time.

There`s a nasty bug in the Google search engine that will allow anyone to delist a website.  If you run across a site that has this problem make a post here and it will be fixed.

DMOZ is a valuable tool and can help you in your search rankings.  Don`t let anyone tell you otherwise.
