Starting Point Directory
Appearance
Starting Point Directory is a human edited general web directory that provides websites organized by topic.
Founded in 1995 by an early Internet pioneer, Frank Addante, as a search engine and a directory. The site rose in popularity and in 1997 was the seventh most popular Internet site. The site was then sold to a CMGI company, Yesmail.com, only to be acquired later by Techlabs, Inc. in 1999. The directory was not a priority while under Techlabs ownership and was not actively edited or maintained.
In 2006, the directory was sold to a new owner and re-launched as a human edited directory. Starting Point Directory employs paid editors that review each site and apply a set of quality guidelines to each listing.
