With the growing popularity that social bookmarking is getting, I am wondering why some people even care to put up any additional web directories. Does it really work? With the possibility of it getting phased out by the IMO Google, will it still be good to consider directories? How will the online world be affected by the sudden disappearance of these directories? When I try to imagine the scenario, I just can't help but think that we are still not ready for it. I think the best thing for us to do with it now is to hold on and be vigilant.
