    Hi all,

    I'm building a huge Directory of Directories called DirectoryJunction.com
    and it's almost near completion.

    I've got alot of good features in it like all of my projects, but if somebody has a good idea of feature request and would like to share, I would really appreciate it.

    What exactly you are looking for ?

    Either you can make a bid directory with twist or a directory with price info.. or sorted by some algorithms like PR, PS, backlinks and so on.

    You can include detail price info like mine, I think it will be helpful for users.
    But the hard part is in the maintenance. It is very rare that directory owners update their own pricing info, so we must regularly check them manually to see if the price info still valid.

    Sort by accepted languages. Also, sort by family-friendliness (does it accept gambling, adult, etc).

    Sort by script would be an interesting one. Other common questions on this forum are which directories offer deep links, and which have custom skins. These last three might be difficult to maintain, like the price info, but they are part of the criteria that helps to sort out the best directories. Maybe consider allowing directory owners the opportunity to update some of these details themselves?

    Yeah, I also plan to release directories related resource.
    Will be based on phpld as always. Ready in 75%.

    Takes preety long time to be finished.
    But as some mods creator well know by some here and not only - I can't release just another directory of directories :)
    This must be unusual, something very special, with lot of never seen features.
    Also nice and perfectly coded template.
    And what I wish most - really useful.

    Soon will kindly ask you for review.

    With serious effort to come up with something different and unique...I have been working on a new project at NewDirectoryList.com

    The directory listings will be sorted by Domain Name extension (.com, .org, .co.uk, .in, etc.), which to my knowledge has never been done before. I hope MystikMedia will add this site to his "Bidding directories with unique categorization List."

    People constantly ask what the best tld extension is? I will let the public decide when they view the listings.

    I have not officially launched it, but you can submit now if you want.

    Permanent Regular Links are $1
    Permanent Featured Links are Bid for Position starting at only $2

    I have to go to work now, but I will approve submissions tonight...and probably start an official release thread.

    PS: I am also working on a general directory that sorts every type of website by the tld extension...so please don't steal my idea.

    This type of sorting should be very interesting...hope you all like it!!!:D

    To vaguely answer your question...I am sure that you can find a niche for your site...just think about what we don't have yet.

    homepageofthemonth nice idea, I submitted one. You will probably need lots of sub categories under .com's since 90% of directories are that extention.

    It is great hearing about all these unique projects in the works, I will definately keep an eye out for them.

    I just had another idea: sort by the year it was established. I'm also looking forward to seeing the results of these projects.
