You Down, ODP? Yeah You Know Me!
Is it just me, or is the Open Directory Project constantly down or acting strangely? The only time I ever use the ODP is when I'm submitting new client sites (or resubmitting constantly, as is the case these days). I've been trying to submit a site now for two days, and I'm constantly getting Internal Server Errors. So, I'll try again tomorrow.
Even when I am able to submit URLs, after I search the directory to see if the site has been accepted, I get persistent error messages stating that there is a heavy server load and to try my search later!
What's going on there, guys? I wonder if anyone at AOL is even minding the ODP, and what they plan to do with it. Seems to me that the ODP is a useless piece of junk that either needs to be revamped or sent to the Recycle Bin. Many categories are redundant and lack category editors. While the idea of a free directory is interesting, in practice, the ODP has been a mess from day one.
