Everyone is attached to Google, but would not be surprised to see a comeback in better organized directories. As the internet gets bigger, and money is splashed around less, the branding of the sites ( along with SEO ) will become more important in the short-term, and the partnerships through advertising and linking during exposure campaigns will guarantee them some good spot as Google and other data organization sites begin to consolidate or control the rampant information.

Or there will be unmitigated chaos for the rest of our existence. No one prefers the latter, so better organization will come. But since much of content-organizers are content-rich blind, much of the placement of information might be emphasized with longevity and reputation through links ( like currently but wouldn’t be surprised of mass de-listings of non-popular sites. ).
