I really want a Yahoo style internet portal back. It could be wiki-style. You click down through subjects until you find what you're looking for. It could effectively be the anti-Amazon if you include alternative options to buy item xyz.
That site is inscrutable, have the owners ever used a web browser?
Directory sites like that are hard to find now. IIRC search engines can't/won't tell legit ones from spammy link farms.
It'd be nice if there was some sort of "DNS indexing but for quality of information". The content quality would change too quickly to be useful, of course.
