@clayote @iacore Yah, #Yahoo! inspired “Gnuhoo,” then @fsf complained, so it was renamed NewHoo. Then Yahoo! chimed in, and while they were casting about for a new name, #Netscape acquired it and renamed it #DMOZ. #AOL acquired Netscape and eventually shut down DMOZ in 2017.

@mjgardner @clayote @iacore IIRC DMOZ tried to do a significant redesign (gray text, lots of whitespace) shortly before it was shut down; And yes, AFAIK it became Curlie.

(And uh, yes, it's offline!?)
