The Best of the Web (botw.org), one of the Internet’s original website directories (created in 1994), has decided to tackle the blogosphere in a big way-by introducing a hand-edited blog directory. Right now, there are currently just over five thousand blogs listed in the Best of the Web Blog Directory. According to Hartnett, they plan on having close to twenty thousand blogs listed when they beta launch the search portion of the site. While they welcome new websites at the BOTW Directory, only blogs that are a minimum of six months old are considered for inclusion in the Best of the Web Blog directory.
