This could also be described as a weakness, as the humans can't keep up 

with the volume of submissions.  I also think Yahoo's editorial criteria is 

rather hit-and-miss.


Trying to get a site listed on Yahoo! is a pain.  Trying to get a reply out 

of their personnel is difficult, and there appears to be no attempt at 

customer relations.


That aside, it is undoubtedly a useful directory / portal.
