ShoeMoney reported this on Friday, and I am really hoping that it does. Best of the Web, one of my favorite directories is in talks to acquire DMOZ.

Over the last several years there have been a lot of editors leaving DMOZ and oddly enough, they have been hired by BOTW. One issue that a lot of Webmasters don’t know is Google’s Business Directory is nothing more then “duplicate content” from DMOZ.

Right now AOL holds the rights to DMOZ. Let’s hope this deal goes through soon.
