The World Wide Web Virtual Library – the first web directory 1 OF 3

The World Wide Web Virtual Library is the index of the content on the World Wide Web. It is a form of Human Edited Web Directory. It started life at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) by the man who created the HTML and the World Wide Web itself – Tim Berners-Lee. Being a Human Edited Web Directory the World Wide Web Virtual Library relies on a team of volunteer editors to maintain it.

A Web Directory is an Internet software that compiles a list of links to the websites on the World Wide Web. It was a result of the growing World Wide Web, and it provides a solution to searching for websites that fall into a same category. A Web Directory is not to be confused with search engines like Yahoo!, Google, AOL and others. Instead of looking for articles or websites that have the most keyword density they look for websites that correspond to what the user had searched for.
