Romow Top Directory Down

Which great directories you talk of mate? 

 

romow is one of the best.. i can't imagine, how it's down.

 

Bluefind is a good example of a now closed directory that was run by a nice guy that many people paid for submissions including myself.

 

I can assure you that is not the case having done a little work with Peter. He was still looking at ways to improve the Romow directory early this year by adding top ranked websites and improving the category structure. Not the actions of a man aiming to take the money and run.

 

I agree. The site was around for quite a while and it constantly appeared in my Google searches.

 

If you check out Romow's Twitter page, it shows from January he was most active (tweeting more than one a day and a total of 553 tweets), then in Feb he only had 3 tweets and the last tweet was in April 20th.

 

I'm not sure Twitter is a good metric for which to gauge a person's activeness on the internet. I don't think I've tweeted since that twit thing began.

 

All his directores was down, and some of the domains have not been renew. There seems to be something trouble with Peter.

 

I still find a few of his directories online - whether or not they are currently owned by him is unknown. I don't see any new listings beyond May of this year though.

 

With the terrible loss of Harkster several weeks ago and whatever is going on here, it should remind us all to have a desk manual or contact information for our loved ones should something happen to us. It seems a shame that such well-run directories will just die rather than a family member being able to either continue operating them or sell them.

It might not garner any of our families a tremendous amount of money to sell our sites but whatever they could obtain would be more than what they would get from all of our work simply fading away as the domains or hosting comes up for renewal.

 

You maybe right, then again as I mentioned he was an active twitter, then just stopped, not saying to use it as a metric-analytical tool or anything, just mentioning things that might be of some factor in his absence from the internet.

 

I hope everything okay with Peter and his wonderful project returns.
In any case Romow was a greatest world directory.

 

Peter, where ever you are or what ever happened, we're wishing you the best.

 

Any updates on Peter/Romow?
