Thanks for the responses. The mentioned Google search engine is great http://google.stanford.edu . I think it would be better if it could be combined with Dewey. They could have their robot AUTOMATICALLY generate a Dewey directory and sub-sort it on link popularity (and/or proxy server hit popularity). Instead of (or in addition to) meta tags, I would prefer to see it at the bottom of the page with a link to a site that has instructions. The idea then could be a "grass roots" movement. But combining search methods (Keyword, URL popularity, and Dewey) even without further help from search engines would help prevent spamming. The following is a detailed account of a guy who finally decided to use Dewey Decimal to organize his hard drive: http://ivory.lm.com/~mundie/CyberDewey/organizing_computers.html Here's his bookmarks organized by Dewey: http://ivory.lm.com/~mundie/DDHC/DDH.html The largest Dewey organization of the web I could find (there were only 3) is http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/wwlib/browse.html This page was getting 40,000 hits a day back in Nov 97. One letter to an editor of a magazine published could help it snowball. Or an email to Google.
