Currently I'm aware of 3 "power" directories:

Yahoo
DMOZ
MusicDMOZ

Who else is worth spending time on? Is there a web page with a list of these entities, URLs preferably?

thx

Not sure I'd consider MusicMoz a "power directory" given its youth and limited scope.

True motsa. Although I must admit that personally I find the idea interesting.

Topic specific directories, to get started use dmoz to look under your_topic/directories. Regional directories are also very useful for regional sites.

As far as general purpose directories I am not sure that any, other than DMOZ and Yahoo, are worth much effort. Zeal used to be valuable as a way of getting into the MSN directory results, but it is either on its way out or already out (not sure, I do not follow that area) and Google does not spider its directory.

Note that the value of Yahoo directory as a source of referrals has gone down since Yahoo changed their search strategy many months ago. I believe that many (most?) people view a Yahoo directory listing merely as a source of PR.
