Google and Dmoz, a lovely friendship

Reading lot of news day by day it's my pleasure. And i found something interesting today, and i share it with you.

Google And Dmoz Friendship

Here we go: The article relate to google directory and their own linking with Dmoz. The owner found 2 way of reaching it, by subdomain and also folder of google. And he shared some more personal thoughts for that article.
Summarizing an article in that way it's kinda.. anyway, there's all you all have to know:
Google uses Dmoz Directory for his own. The footer links in directory.google.com points directly to the dmoz structure
It's something great to see Google growing in the VR environment

What do you think about?

 

I think if you're trying to share it with us and want to know what we think, the least you could do is summarize it here. Just looking for some clicks?

 

it's known think that google loves wikipedia and dmoz so much

 

Google cares about human experience , and although dmoz has flaws and problems they are human experince.That brings a human experience for the bots.

 

Actually I am surprised you haven't seen this sooner about google having a directory that uses ODP data. Google's directory has been around for a long time now and has always used RDF Dumps from dmoz.org to build it's directory. They usually update it quarterly from what I last remember.

 

a good article none the less

 

ehhmm.... this is actually not a breaking news. But it's worth reading the article as a reminder.

 

for me was an astonish new one Never looked into google directory
but's nice to see that google marks the market, getting better and better

 

google might be doing things to make the market better and better

however dmoz does not

 

Google always talks about duplicate content. I wonder the how on earth they think the the data directly taken from DMOZ listings are not duplicate.

 

Yes, DMOZ listing really gives you top results in Google.

 

they have a good relation ship because google is lazy dotn want to make a database of good sites directory by themself. XD that's why it's explain why Google and Dmoz directory database are almost the same.

 

This has been happening for a longggggggggggg time, this is old news.

 

This is very interesting article... thanks for posting it =>

 

So you wouldn't call their search index a database of sites they made by themselves...?
