MSN Offers Opt Out of Open Directory Listings

This is sweet! -- finally a way to get the search engines (well, actually just MSN for now) to not use your directory listing in the normal search results. You put this little meta tag into your homepage and it will not list your site with your Dmoz title and description.

Will the other search engines join in? Well, Yahoo doesn't use Dmoz snippets anyway, but they should do the same with their directory listings. Google uses Dmoz, but seems to only use the Dmoz snippets some of the time anyway, so they may or may not join the party on this one. This is a great idea...way to go MSN!
