Time for the ODP to close?
In the continuing spirit of being open, DMOZ shut down their ironic "site status checks" for webmasters. A good thing, in my view, as the last thing the ODP wants to do is encourage webmasters, a group who have the rather tiresome habit of using the DMOZ Add URL forms to submit their sites in the hope of getting listed. Nobody listens to the ODP - they have to say it time and time again: they are NO LONGER a listing service for webmasters! Even their About Us page is having trouble getting the message.
Danny Sullivan wonders if it's time for the venerable old barge to be towed out to sea and sunk. Or shot. Or both. OK, I'm paraphrasing. Personally, I think it simply requires a new name and a new directive. "The Closed Directory Project: We Want To Be Alone".
