The
Happenings Online Directory
Happenings
Online is based on the Mozilla Open Directory, the fastest
growing web directory in the world. The Open Directory is unique
because it relies on real people rather than automated web crawlers
to find and categorize web sites. A vast army of volunteer editors,
each of whom are knowledgeable about a particular category,
sign up with the Open Directory to organize small portions of
the web. We think that the new Happenings Online is the
best online tool available anywhere. But don't take our word
for it - try it for
yourself.
Happenings
Online is not a Search Engine, it's a Directory Like Yahoo
Like
Yahoo!, Happenings Online is based on a web directory
built entirely by people, not mindless web "spiders" that
crawl the web looking for specific words within web sites.
Happenings Online is different in two important ways:
- The
Directory is edited by more than 33,222 contributors (and
the number is growing all the time). This is a significant
advantage over Yahoo!, which relies on a limited number
of employees to manage their directory.
- The
Directory is regularly scanned for outdated links, which
are immediately removed. Yahoo! contains up to 15% "dead"
links (that is, links that go nowhere).
The
Open Directory Project
The
Open Directory is the foundation for Happenings Online.
It is the fastest growing human-edited Internet directory in
the world, with over 332,371 topics and 33,222
volunteer editors. The Directory places editorial control in
the hands of people like you, who are passionate about a subject
and create the best topical resources available anywhere. |
