Enjoy! Emily - - - - - - - - - I'm a collector. In the same way that other people may collect stamps, coins or fossils, I collect websites.

These posts will give individual editors the opportunity to highlight categories where they work. We hope that this will help demonstrate the depth and breadth of editor knowledge and highlight the richness of the directory itself. Editor crowbar has prepared the first one.

Bob Keating, our editor-in-chief, has prepared some personal thoughts and insights on the directory's next decade. Enjoy!

Now that 2009 is officially in the books, it's time to take a look back at the year that was. We've already heard about our editors' many projects and accomplishments this past year, so I thought we'd take the opportunity to look at some of our directory statistics and some trends we've seen throughout the year. As we've highlighted in the past, the DMOZ user base is incredibly international.

During the first, she encouraged editors to process greenbusts that had accumulated over time.

In the Purple Push, makrhod again organized editors to process all update requests.

Have you ever thought about how you might be able to use this to learn more about current events? Editor glippitt has put together an article that highlights some of the excellent current events categories available in DMOZ.

There are two basic types of designations for editor titles. One refers to the breadth of editing permissions, and the other refers to a role in directory management. Each is detailed below.

A year later, we checked in to see how he was doing . Believe it or not, another year has gone by, and laigh is back to give us an update on his second year as an editor - it's been eventful! - - - - - - - - - - - Yes it is that time of year again, the time for me, laigh , to pop in and say hello and let you know how I am getting on and what I have been up to.

If you (or someone you know) recently returned to school, DMOZ can be a great resource to use as a starting point for projects or research papers for students of all ages. Elementary School through High School As we've mentioned in the past , the Kids & Teens directory contains a wealth of hand-selected information for children ranging in age from pre-school to high school. Search Engines News SEO News DMOZ DMOZ Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:30:06 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=22187 A lot of our blog posts are dedicated to exploring the internal workings of the directory or the way in which DMOZ grows, but we don't often talk about how the data is used once it's included in the directory. While the stand-alone DMOZ directory is an excellent resource, many of the information-seekers who benefit from directory content come into contact with it through third-party sites that use the data.

At DMOZ, we get tons of questions about what editor abuse actually is and how to spot it.

For this post, editor crowbar has prepared some tips and examples to help clarify.

In this post, editor crowbar talks about the experience of building out these local categories.

There are three primary reasons that sites might be removed, some temporary and some permanent. The list below explains these in detail. The site was down when our automated tools scanned it.

In that time, it has grown to become the largest human-edited directory on the web thanks to the tens of thousands of dedicated volunteer editors who have collected, sorted and organized millions of websites into categories on topics ranging from Aerospace to Zoology (and just about everything in between).

This week, editor crowbar will provide some background about the role he plays as an editor for the directory. Emily - - - - - - - - - - - Editing is one of several hobbies that I indulge in when I'm not working in my real life business. My business doesn't have or need a website anymore. It was a nice tool at the time, but I found it to be unnecessary. Good service and word of mouth are much more effective. Let me tell you about my hobbies.

In today's post we're bringing you the story of how one editor, imrankhan, took the leap from long-time DMOZ user to editor. Emily - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My association with DMOZ started off back in 1999. I had just started using the internet and even the speed of my 56k modem internet connection was enough to bowl me over. Back then, my online activities were limited to sending/receiving emails and occasional repartee in chat rooms. Search Engines News SEO News DMOZ DMOZ Fri, 15 May 2009 21:56:53 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=18508 Hey everyone!

Ask people how they search the web, and most will tell you what Google does well, what Wikipedia does well - and what DMOZ doesn't do well. When you think about it, that's quite an odd way to look at search vehicles, isn't it? My car doesn't do backflips, but that doesn't mean I stop driving. I also can't take a plane to my local shopping area, ride a bicycle across the ocean, Search Engines News SEO News DMOZ DMOZ Mon, 04 May 2009 22:50:28 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=17414 Several weeks ago, we asked webmasters and general users to submit their questions about DMOZ.

For many people, the obvious answers include MySpace, Facebook, Bebo and LinkedIn. But while these may be the heavy-hitters in the Web 2.0 social networking space, they do not represent the only opportunities the Web has to offer.

DMOZ is fundamentally the same site it was in 1998. In the social media landscape we're the old timer's with wisdom and tons of life lessons learned. But is that to say its day has come and gone?
