Argh, Yahoo is happening again!

(For the youth, this is basically what Yahoo was, originally; it was _ten years_ after Yahoo started before it had its own crawler-based search engine, though it did use various third parties after the first few years.)

It's like people are missing that first decade.

(I recall too that when Yahoo did add their own web crawler, all web devs did was add "Pamela Anderson" a thousand times in as meta tags in order to get their pages ranked higher. Early SEO.)

This reminds me more of the Open Directory Project (Dmoz.org), but I welcome it!
