DMOZ: AOL Out ; BOTW In

DMOZ the popular web directory owned by AOL is on its way to be owned by BOTW, Best of the Web.

DMOZ which, is owned by AOL is one of the biggest web directory so far. Various Website owners found it extremely difficult to attain entry into this directory as they say that the editorial set up of AOL is quite strict. It does not permit entry to any website so easily,

The news of this likely takeover, has actually relieved a few web masters, who have been trying to get into the directory for quite some time now. They are now hoping that the system will be slightly lenient at BOTW so that entry into the directory will become easier.

DMOZ is running full house these days, as all the top categories are over flowing with websites, and getting into the less popular sites is equally difficult. But things might just become slightly better. This is what people on the web are hoping.

But what we fear is that after this presumable takeover by BOTW, DMOZ does not lose the importance and prestige that it has gained in so many years. We just hope that the editorial system at Best of the Web is equally strong as was at AOL, so that they are able to keep the hold of the directory as it was ever since its inception in 1994.
