Not true. You even said that websites come on-line by the thousands. How are you going to find these sites without a directory? :) If I may add my 2&cent answer: a search engine like AltaVista, InfoSeek, Excite, HotBot. My personal favorite is AltaVista. Did you know there is a several month wait to get your site reviewed by Yahoo for inclusion into its guide? It's no secret that most people who use Yahoo frequently are accessing the Finance site quote.yahoo.com simply to view stock and index quotes, most active stocks, etc. Also to get the latest headlines from Reuters, Businesswire, and stories from other sites. Yahoo does these things well. Yes, I registered as a "user", so I could post to the message board of a particular stock. Was disgusted with the hardcore vulgarity I found there on the CHKPF message board. Some of the posts had worthwhile info, but the level of quality overall was very low. I've not done anything requiring my "registered user" status since then, except for one brief holiday lookup in the shopping section. Was disappointed with the lack of depth there. A search engine they aren't.
