Zeal is the worst directory I've seen on the web. Their stupid rules are plain idiotic. Now that they're shutting down I can rest assured that idiocy doesn't have a place on the internet in the long run.
Dang and I just spent the time yesterday trying to pass the test.....took a cpl shots but i eventually did it.....heh
I heard that the US division is staying but the aussie, uk and canada? parts are going..but dunno if it's true.
Still online... Link bait? Unless it's losing money hand over fist I don't see why it would be closed either. I don't know crap about running directories though so take my comments for what they are worth
One thing I do know, is that a directory that still has a name like zeal, can easily close down free submissions and start charging. And maybe they should read thru DP and see how some of our members make quite a bit of money with a lot less traffic than they're getting
Done and Done... Just saw this at Zeal.com: "We thank you all for being a part of the Zeal community and contributing your time and knowledge to the Directory. LookSmart has decided to focus internal resources on objectives that are more central to our business strategy and Zeal.com has been shut down. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you again for contributing to the Zeal community. We think avid Zeal users will appreciate the large and vital community at Furl.net (www.Furl.net). Furl is an online book marking service that helps save information that’s important to you, share it with friends and see what others are saving."
Yeah, I'm hoping it might start driving more traffic to others now [offtopic] Any ETA for when your changing the script on your site Jeremy? Been following it for a while now )[/offtopic]
Lol .. i just founf this out and wanted to post it in DP too. I'm glad i searched first. Zeal was dead anyway.
