MSN uses DMOZ?

    OK, I really dont check MSN too often because I really could care less but I noticed today MSN uses DMOZ descriptions. How long has that been going on for now? Thought only Google uses them.

    Thanks,

    They do use it, but it's very rare. In fact, MSN introduced the NOODP tag :)

    I can't see why Google don't create their own directory same as Yahoo and forget the ailing dino. They have enough money to hire 1000 editors and create the ultimate web directory -but not better than mine:D
