Jeremy Schoemaker recently blogged that DMOZ may be acquired by the great guys at BOTW. While BOTW has no comment regarding the possible acquisition, personally, I think the BOTW guys would be the most ideal group to take upon this project. They're dedicated and really have worked on building a solid product, which is why so many people stand behind them.
Sphinn members agree. As we already know, DMOZ has been suffering a slow downfall for the past few years, and it's time for a good replacement to come in. I wholeheartedly support this if it happens, and I hope it does!

On February 20th, I asked our readers if they thought a listing in the Open Directory Project would have a major impact on a site's Google ranking. The response was split down the middle.
We only had 58 responses, which is very low for a typical Search Engine Roundtable poll, but the results were really down the middle.
As you can see, 47% said that a link from ODP does not have a major impact on your Google rankings. While 45% said a link from ODP will have a major impact on your Google rankings. Of course, the question is not clear cut and there can be "it depends," answers.
