Open Directory Project
(redirected from Newhoo)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Open Directory Project
A database of Web sites organized by subject. Originally developed by two Sun engineers in 1998 and called "Gnuhoo," it was soon renamed "NewHoo" and then acquired by Netscape, which renamed it Open Directory Project (ODP). The directory is maintained by volunteer editors, and its URL www.dmoz.org comes from Netscape's Mozilla brand (DirectoryMOZilla). See Mozilla and directory.

AltaVista is using Tribal Voice Inc for its instant messaging, as ComputerWire revealed a couple of weeks ago and it is apparently going to use America Online Inc's Netscape Open Directory project, a user-edited directory Netscape got from its November 1998 acquisition of Newhoo.
