ODP data is in use by AOL, Netscape, Hotbot, Lycos, Altavista, and others. Directory is strongest in special interest and entertainment areas.

Go.com's Index the Go Networks directory maintained by volunteer editors. Size of index is very small. Sites must be approved by one or two editors before being added to the directory. There is no screening process for editors, so the general public adds things in a sporadic manner. The site employees a three star rating system used to determine the order of sites in the directory.
