Google definitely uses the directory DMOZ to help it index new sites that may not already be listed in its results.

DMOZ uses a hierarchical ontology scheme for organizing site listings. Listings on a similar topic are grouped into categories which can then include smaller categories.

DMOZ is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a passionate, global community of volunteers editors. It was historically known as the Open Directory Project (ODP).

DMOZ follows in the footsteps of some of the most important editor/contributor projects of the 20th century. Just as the Oxford English Dictionary became the definitive word on words through the efforts of volunteers, DMOZ follows in its footsteps to become the definitive catalog of the Web.

DMOZ was founded in the spirit of the Open Source movement, and is the only major directory that is 100% free. There is not, nor will there ever be, a cost to submit a site to the directory, and/or to use the directory's data. DMOZ data is made available for free to anyone who agrees to comply with our free use license.
DMOZ is the most widely distributed data base of Web content classified by humans.  Its editorial standards body of net-citizens provide the collective brain behind resource discovery on the Web.  DMOZ powers the core directory services for the Web's largest and most popular search engines and portals, including Netscape Search, AOL Search, Google, Lycos, HotBot, DirectHit, and hundreds of others.

there is a method for ensuring that your webpage will be remembered for the DMOZ catalog rapidly: become a DMOZ supervisor for the classification where you have applied to have your site recorded. Applying to turn into a DMOZ manager is simple. Getting acknowledged is somewhat more diligently, yet most certainly possible

DMOZ is short for "Directory Mozilla" and it used to be one of the largest web directories. Its official name was "Open Directory Project", ODP. The original goal of the initiators was to map a large part of the internet to a directory of web addresses.
