About Open Directory Project Malaysia
| The Open Directory Project's goal is to produce the most comprehensive
directory of the web, by relying on a vast army of volunteer editors. |
The Internet Brain
| The web continues to grow at staggering rates. Automated search engines
are increasingly unable to turn up useful results to search queries. The
small paid editorial staffs at commercial directory sites can't keep up
with submissions, and the quality and comprehensiveness of their directories
has suffered. Link rot is setting in and they can't keep pace with the
growth of the Internet. |
The Republic of the Web
| Instead of fighting the explosive growth of the Internet, the Open
Directory provides the means for the Internet to organize itself.
As the Internet grows, so do the number of net-citizens. These citizens
can each organize a small portion of the web and present it back to the
rest of the population, culling out the bad and useless and keeping only
the best content. |
This Isn't a Talk Show
| Usenet has its share of experts and good information, but you have
to be an expert yourself to tell the good from the bad.
The Open Directory is a self-regulating republic where experts
can collect their recommendations, without including noise and misinformation. |
You Can Make a Difference
| Like any community, you get what you give. The Open Directory provides
the opportunity for everyone to contribute.
Signing up is easy: choose a topic you know something about and
join. Editing categories is a snap. We have a comprehensive set of tools
for adding, deleting, and updating links in seconds. For just a few minutes
of your time you can help make the Web a better place, and be recognized
as an expert on your chosen topic. |
