Directory would be a much better use of your time. DMOZ is still a valuable directory (for a lot of reasons), but the likelihood is small that they will review, let alone add your site to the directory in a timely manner (if ever).&lt;p&gt;A few other things worth doing:
- Create a Twitter account for your site.
- Create a Facebook page for your site.</text></comment>
