Alright, we all know what website directories are and how they are used, but I'd love to see some recent stats that show how directory submissions impact your website's ranking. There's no doubt that almost any type of link is beneficial, but my research so far has shown that directory links are very low in quality and provide just a temporary boost in ranking. I'm more and more convinced that they're just not that useful any more.

Don't use them in the same way you used to use them years ago. Ignore anything that says "Directory" but rather, post on sites that list industry sites and ranks them. Ranks them by their own measurements... they don't accept every site and the ones they do get rated. These can have value.
