It's likely that in the next month or two we'll be switching web providers to gain even more disk space and other nice features at a more competitive price.

This site is now listed in the Open Directory Project, "the largest and most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web."

 

 

This is important because of the large number of portals and search engines which use ODP data. This includes some of the Web's most heavily trafficked sites such as AOL, AskJeeves, Netscape, Hotbot, ATT and others. This should give us some great exposure though it will take some time (perhaps weeks or months) for these sites to pick up the ODP data.
