---- Why doesn't a new and improved competitor to DMOZ arise?

A long time ago there were 200 websites in the world. It was easy to view them all and categorise them. The 200 became 200,000. It required a few volunteers to do the job. Still possible. The 200,000 became several million with many of them being auto-built and auto-filled with auto-crap. Have the number of editors scaled up proportionately to review this larger internet and weed out the larger amount of trash?

I'm no Google hugger but I commend Google's foresight in placing their emphasise on scalability.

Volunteer editors ... are confident with DMOZ

And you think there's possibly a market for another volunteer directory built for the sole benefit of the volunteers?
