I notice 3 unique DMOZ threads that are sending quite a few visitors to SEOmoz today. I want to welcome and thank all of the editors there who’ve made their way over. We may have our differences, but I realize that most of you are doing a great job organizing and classifying sites and maintaining what is still the best directory available.
Hopefully, you’re not too upset over my bribery recommendations. I trust that despite our differences, we can at least agree to disagree on these types of issues. I would like to make one suggestion – Wikipedia’s public discussions over content, links, etc. has made them an exceptional resource and one that is arguably unassailable. I highly urge DMOZ to make the same shifts in their own decision making policy. Transparency in public Internet organizations is a great thing and can really help to shift webmasters’ image of the DMOZ hierarchy.
Enjoy SEOmoz and drop me a line if you’d like. I’m always up for enlightened discussion.
