Hello all, I have created some time ago a software application that might be useful for many webmasters (it is in it's final beta version stage). The application allows you to submit your website to directories by using a semi-automated process (prefills registration forms as much as possible). For the moment, I have a good english, free and non reciprocal directory list (around 3000 dirs) and I am working hard to select and add new directories. However, you can use your own directory list if you want. This is the website where you can have more info: www.fastibl.com
Semi-automated tools are a good option as submission aid so your approach to this product is the right one. Thanks for sharing and keep it up.
Just one hint for the software - it might be an idea to select the "next directory" semi randomly so that the directories at the beginning of the list don't get overloaded. It will also mean that all directories are being submitted to by users and you'll learn sooner rather than later of any that disappear.
Yup, this is what I plan to do for the very next release. The list will be re-arranged randomly when you create a new project. Otherwise, only very few people will have so much patience to get to last directories in the current list
