Is DMOZ Dead?!?

It's 12:38 AM 11/22/2006, and for the past 10 days DMOZ has been offline? You mean I can't submit my sites to wait months to get my high PR links from them? Hopefully they'll be live again soon. :(

Some News from Shoemoney, "Ok on to the last big thing I saw. The DMOZ has been down evidently for over 10 days. Down meaning no editors or anyone can log in and do anything. Some of the editors I met at pubcon say its totally F�ed up.. like AOL is telling them its a bad hardware failure. Now I do not know anything first hand but I gotta think that if AOL really cared about it they would not let it be down to its editors for 10 days. I mean how are they going to approve their friends� MFA sites? Anyway as usual when anything happens to dmoz people always wonder if this is the thing that will push Google over the edge to start their own directory or more likely buy an existing well established directory."

ARG!!!!!

Does these user need to resubmit again because of this black out?

However, Yahoo Directory (October 24, 2006) now supports the Open Directory Project (ODP) DMOZ. See this page at: http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000368.html

So what does all means, time will tell in the year 2007 and we will see what happened to DMOZ as a company. Notwithstanding, since AOL and Netscape is now using Google results.

Will AOL ever use their own company or will they still use Google results in this coming up year 2007?

Will DMOZ ever recover from this black out?

At the same the time, Dogpile.com, the search engine that combines the top results from all the leading search engines, ranked highest in overall customer satisfaction among Internet users, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2006 Residential Online Service Customer Satisfaction Study.

Submission still doesn't work.
