A few years ago, a listing in DMOZ was mandatory for strong placements at Google. Today, not so much... That doesn't mean DMOZ is no longer important. It does provide the data-dump that populates the Google Directory and several other directories and third/fourth tier search engines. By the way, I should disclose that I know many of the folks at BOTW personally and consider them to be friends. I trust these guys to do the right thing with DMOZ if Shoe's rumour does turn out to be true. Hi Ranjan,
