Wanna be a volunteer editor?

I hope you are feeling better!

Please let your readers know about this volunteer opportunity:

DMOZ.org is one of those old-school sites from the early days of the internet.
At first sight you’d think it’s not very useful and abandoned.

You’d be wrong. It is mirrored by sites like Ask.com, AOL and Google so its influence is significant. Search Engine Optimizers know this and spam it like crazy.

Because of this, it takes forever to get a link approved.

Right now it looks like the specialist editor of the Catholic section and its subsections has stopped working on it.

The application process to become a volunteer editor looks pretty easy, and getting new web links up would do more good than, say, engaging in another flame war.

With a good editor, the Catholic section could boost the profile of all the best Catholic sites on the internet, new and old. Diocesan newspapers and good blogs are missing from the listings, as well as other newer sites.

I’d volunteer myself but I’m too involved in some sites to be an objective editor.

The volunteer page is here:

The Catholic category is here:

I bet an editor could do the work on a laptop while watching a sports game or a TV show. It’s not very thought-intensive.

Please ask your readers to consider volunteering! They’ll help the internet!

Now you know!
