It has meant a world of difference to our company which has had a real time of it trying to override the completely inaccurate information about our site originating from the DMOZ Open Directory Project. Your article describes exactly what we've been through with them- i.e. absolutely no service or effective avenues of communication and a very poor organisational culture in general. Indeed, we've come to the conclusion that the NOODP tag is the most intelligent solution for organisations wishing to override the ODP altogether and have ourselves as an enterprise chosen to take that route. The only remaining problem (for academic and highly specialised businesses) are the hundreds of small directories which inadvertently import DMOZ Open Directory Project data without understanding that that information may not even be true or that it is horrendously outdated. I hope their webmasters are reading up on current developments! Yours, G K A Njalsson CEO Thanks Dave for the really informative article!
