DMOZ, Meet Wikipedia
June 20, 2008
I must say, I find DMOZ and Wikipedia incredibly interesting. Both can be incredibly helpful resources, as manifested by Google's love affair with each, a love affair that makes DMOZ and Wikipedia necessarily difficult to crack. Yet, as just a Friday afternoon observation, how they defend themselves from the onslaught of those attempting to crack them places them on opposite ends of the spectrum. Whereas Wikipedia will respond instantly and error on the side of speedy deletion, DMOZ seems to reserve any type of judgement until full consideration can be placed.
While both defense strategies have their philosophical and practical pros and cons, DMOZ often seems paralyzed by its due process. Perhaps that's why, every once in a while in a matter of concession, you find most of a DMOZ category consisting of Wiki links, or more precisely, 30 out of 53 total links pointing to Wiki pages.
