Some of us have a few favorite sites for particular skillsets and we go and search on them first. When everything fails, google is always the first or last option. Dmoz.org is a human indexed &#8216;mother of all directories&#8217;. For the uninitiated, it was around since google was not even born. The advantage of using dmoz.org to search out information is that its very very focussed.<\/p>\n<p>If you do a search for &#8220;c# code&#8221; it will only show you technical sites containing c# stuff. And you get all related categories in the same page. In other words, you can find what you&#8217;re looking for faster in dmoz.org than in google. I have found this to be true of programming and software sites (since I generally search for those mostly). I dont know if the same is true for other topics. But , if you havent used dmoz.org, its worth a try.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"dmoz\" href=\"http:\/\/search.dmoz.org\/cgi-bin\/search?search=c%23+code\">Search for &#8216;c# code&#8217; in dmoz.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"google\" href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=c%23+code&#038;hl=en&#038;lr=&#038;start=10&#038;sa=N\">Search for &#8216;c# code&#8217; in google.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>For programmers who often have to search out tech articles or code, the first item of choice is generally google.
