"Think about it... Amazon for shopping, Wikipedia for information - it's a pretty powerful combination."

That may be true but you can also buy just about anything at a WalMart. Should the rest of all the B & M's just close up shop and go home? Personally, I don't like shopping at WalMart, or Amazon for that matter.

And also slightly OT: If DMOZ has gotten so bad (and I agree it has), why does Google continue to use it for their directory and give heavy weight to the listings there. Why don't they just start their own and charge like Y? That'd be about the easiest billion dollars anyone could ever make.
