Search Skill

Subject specific directories have been quiet popular as the user can get a lot of websites with similar themes or objectives under the same roof.

On the other hand even generic web directories come up with several categories and sub categories to fasten the search process for the users.

We can bring an analogy with the modern shopping malls, which basically attempt to catter to all your needs under the same roof. They seggrgate products by categories and store them in several departments inside the mall. Even smaller shopping malls address the seggregation in a similar fashion by using racks or compartments.

On the other hand traditional shopping concept supports subject specific stores or shops, where the buyer can find a product of one category or products of similar categories only.

Which one is better? It is the buyer to decide.
