Hello, Is dmoz the oldest directory or there is older directory ? I do not want my opening page for web directory reviews , to give out the wrong information as to which is the oldest directory on the web. If dmoz is not than which one is?
yahoo directory is old aswell! but then i don't know which one is older! am sure there must be more old directories like dmoz, perhaps searching the wiki would be a better solution!
i tried at wiki on the directories link and searched for term old but couldn't find anything. So maybe someone here at dp knows which might be the oldest.
botw started as a web awards website. http://web.archive.org/web/19961221025505/http://botw.org/ From Apr 20, 2003 it started as a directory. http://web.archive.org/web/20030420091944/http://botw.org/ Here's a list of old directories http://www.webuildpages.com/directory/, but again for botw see above.
The WWW Virtual Library started in 1991 and was started by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the Web. Hugo
You are correct! http://www.biz-king.com/Computer/Web_Directories/-V-Directories/ http://www.biz-king.com/Computer/Web_Directories/-V-Directories/www-virtual-library-3604.html thx malcolm
DMOZ was originally GnuHoo and was launched on June 5th 1998. The project only ever existed because of failings in the Yahoo project thus had to have been started after Yahoo. Yahoo was founded on March 1st 1995, based off of the January 1994 web site called "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web". The renaming of the web site took place in April 1994. As has been previously stated the Virtual Library was the first.
just checked out Virtual Library - i take it is British! can't see how you can submit to it though! .
If you maintain a site you would like to have listed in a section of the Virtual Library, then please go to that site to find how to contact the individual maintainer. The Catalog curator is not involved in the addition of external sites to the VL.
1991? Just think about it, in 20 years our directories will really old. I wonder how many of us will be around by that time. Who has the oldest directory in this forums?
