A Universe of Good Intentions, A World of Practical Hurdles

One great thing about the Internet is how anyone can try to make it better.

A group of scientists, academics and nonprofit groups is making its attempt with a new Internet directory it calls the Digital Universe. The group’s goal is to provide information vetted by experts on all major topics of human knowledge in a new format allowing people to browse it in a more visual way.

"We hope to create the world’s largest repository of credible information over the next several years, if not decades,” says Bernard Haisch, the astrophysicist and former NASA researcher who is president of the nonprofit Digital Universe Foundation.

This new directory http://www.digitaluniverse.net aims to collect the best of the Web in one spot.
