In addition to searching through the About Guides, you can click through the links in it's directory. About.com was formerly known as The Mining Company (miningco.com) About.com is based on the input of a network comprising hundreds of dedicated, topic-specific human experts. They are called Guides. Each About.com GuideSite TM is devoted to a single topic, complete with site reviews, feature articles and discussion areas. And each site is created by a qualified About.com Guide, a company-certified subject specialist who's responsible for helping the user get the most out of their time online. If you would like to be a guide, here is an overview. This directory has an excessive amount of advertising that intrudes too much on the search experience. I found the usefullness of About.com to be less than directories like Yahoo! and Open Directory. Above has an about page. If you would like to make a submission to a Guide, you'll have to drill down to their part of the site and locate their about page where you might find an email address.
