The Web continues to be a place where devotion to purpose remains strong for
many users, who have a kinship and feel a sense of community ownership. As a result,
there are a number of search engine directories which are human-powered by volunteer
editors.
The Open Directory (www.dmoz.org)
uses volunteer editors to catalog the Web. Formerly known as GnuHoo, it was launched
in June 1998. and is now owned by Netscape
(AOL).
Zeal is a volunteer-driven
directory where the community submits and rates web sites. Zeal is owned by LookSmart
and provides listings for LookSmart’s non-commercial categories.
Hotrate.com - Volunteers
either edit categories or simply participate as reviewers. The service is also
supposed to provide rewards, including cash, to its contributors. Non-categorized
results come from Google.
HotLinks - Uses bookmarks
contributed by its members to allow users to search for sites of interest.
My Octopus - Allows anyone
to create collections of information around different topics that are called “views”
which are extremely powerful. In addition to links to web pages, a view can contain
parts of web pages, images, elements that pull data such as sports scores and
more.
Xoron (formerly Wherewithal)
is based on Open Directory and allows its editors to build out category listings
and pays them for revenue generated by their areas.
Wondir is a new and different
kind of information service that seeks to unify cutting edge search technology
with the Web’s original egalitarian vision of people freely helping people.
