Top DMOZ editors hired by BOTW.org

Over 30 of the top DMOZ editors who had built the foundation of the Netscape Open Directory Project during the ‘good old days’ of DMOZ have been hired by BOTW.org (Best of The Web). The fact that so many people who played an important part in getting a well-known directory to the position it is today have been roped in is a good sign for BOTW to set and meet new standards in size and quality.

We have always been a bit obsessive about providing the user with the highest quality, relevant resources - whether he or she is a surfer, a site owner, or a search spider. We’re excited to bring on a crew that shares the same commitment to quality. With their unique set of talents, we’ll be able to more effectively pursue additional opportunities

CEO of BOTW.org, Brian Prince.

I fully anticipate the newest editors will have immediate and long term positive impact on everything that we are doing, or will be involved with. Our future as a world leader in the categorisation of quality, content-rich media depends on the extraordinary talents of our people. This crew will contribute a lot to our continued success.

Prince went on to add:

‘The Nerd Herd’, as they are being called, will be focusing on improving the architecture and filling up the categories with additional relevant resources.
