      Maybe it could be a feature where Users could add and then vote up and down the directory to keep it fresh, relevant and up to date. Obviously you'd have to implement something to stop spammers...

      That said, I've still got a couple of good niche links from the current list 🙂

        As I mentioned above, I'm keen for a user generated one! I'd be willing to contribute!

          I think a note or "warning" would suffice. There is still good info on there, it's just not as relevant as it was a year ago.

            Very much looking forward to seeing a revised list. Any guestimate when one will be available?

                Just FYI (as an update), I met last week with some folks and spec'd out a project to replace the directory list. We plan to have an updated version ready to launch in the next 60 days. It will be WAY better, have some very cool interactive functionality, and feature three sources - web, social + local directories (all of which will have subcategories, too).

                I think this replacement will be awesome and can last for years to come.

                    Sounds good, directories are still an easy win for smaller or niche sites where there is not much discussion out there. II am working on a site for a carpet manufacturer, not a hot topic in the blogosphere for some reason. 😉

                      Awesome!  Thanks for the update!  I've been using the Open Site Explorer to find high ranking directory lists.  However, it would be nice to have an experienced source for that info.

                        Rand states "We plan to have an updated version ready to launch in the next 60 days." posted on the 6th June - so Early August 2011 looks to be the target re-launch date.

                          Hi,

                          Could we also divide the directory by country?

                          The existing directory list is very US centric. I can understand why of course, but if we could also put together a UK list that would be great!

                          If you don't ask you don't get! 🙂

                            It's been about 60 days, how close is this to reality?

                              Not too close, unfortunately. We have the project specs and Justin Briggs from Distilled is working with Cyrus and Casey at Moz to finish the feature, but getting it onto the site soon will be challenging. My best guess is late September or early October, but will cross fingers that we see it sooner.

                                Just thought I'd revisit this discussion to see if there's been any movement.  Any updates for us at all?

                                        Please give us the top 10/20 at least. It has been too late. We can wait for the perfection, but please give us a stop gap solution.
