This is a page for documenting ways people link to directories and build directories in a distributed manner.

Authors

  • Ryan King
  • Tantek Çelik

Examples

  • directory urls?
  • how do people indicate 'a directory for a page'?
    • Hardly anyone links to the specific page, many link to the root of the directory. For example, many blogshares listed blogs use blogshares.gif to signify that they're listed, but not where in the directory they're listed.
    • Blogwise does it thusly: <a href="http://www.blogwise.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.blogwise.com/buttons/88_31_1.gif" border="1" width="88" height="31" alt="Blogwise - blog directory"></a>
  • odeo
    • Odeo's channel pages (like one link to a directory listing of similar podcasts. Incidentally, this is also a rel-tag link. There links look like <a href="/tag/tech" id="t254" rel="tag">tech</a>

Formats
