Just launched http://bitcoin.directory/ - An updated version of TheBitcoinPage

Changes include:

• Fresh content - A lot of work has been done to add new websites and remove old obsolete ones.
• Categories - The entire site is broken into easy to use categories.
• Search - easily find what you are looking for.
• Widgets - Automatically take lists from Bitcoin.Directory into your own site.

And a very important change which is hidden, is the entire back-end infrastructure, allowing us to keep the website fresh and up-to-date.
I hope you enjoy the new site.

The content of http://www.thebitcoinpage.com/ seems to improve every single day since the beginning of the contest!

Its difficult to check all the links that are being sent to me, but I manage to do it. Please only send quality links which are not broken. Also, I managed to fix a huge bug in the code that maps all the different icons into one picture

5 Days to go!

I just found your e-mail in the spam folder. Gmail probably filtered the message because of the links. I'll keep an eye on the spam folder from now on...
Anyway, next update I do I'll include your links.

What did you submit?

During the last 4 days of contest, we improved our homepage at http://www.thebitcoinpage.com/ with new categories and links.

6 days left for the contest and to be honest, I think its pretty easy to win the first prize since a lot of content is missing (most sites don't have description yet!). So keep submitting your content, help us build the best bitcoin directory website, and win some prizes!

In the last 3 days I have updated the links on the site as you can see here: http://www.thebitcoinpage.com/history
Also, watch all the contest details (including leader board) here: http://www.thebitcoinpage.com/contest

For more than a year I have been lurkering the bitcoin community. During that time I had the opportunity to know many useful websites that are related to bitcoin.
Now, I have set myself a personal mission to bring the most relevant, up-to-date list of bitcoin websites in one simple page.
Check out the result at : http://www.thebitcoinpage.com/

I hope that this website will give a quick answer to some basic bitcoin questions such as "Where do I learn more about bitcoin?" or "Where can I even spend bitcoins?".
I dont intend to link to every bitcoin website out there, only to quality websites that the community like (On most bitcoin directory sites I see today most of the links are spam or just does not exist).

I did my best to list the best sites I know about bitcoin, and I'm sure that you can find new great sites you didn't know about.
But I'm only one person and I need YOUR help to improve the content!
This is why I am having a 500$ 10 day contest to improve the content of the website!

To participate, check out the instructions on how to update the content: http://www.thebitcoinpage.com/howto
Suggesting content is easy as:
1. Download a file http://www.thebitcoinpage.com/links.txt
2. Change it
3. Upload it back!
4. ...
5. PROFIT!

I will continue to update the website daily based on the updates that people are sending, so if you are updating the links.txt 2 days from now, please re-download it before adding content.
Over the next 10 days I am going to count the improvements of each person, and add it up. Yes, you can upload multiple updates, just be sure to include your nick and email so I can identify and count your changes!

What can you change?

• Add/Remove/Re-order Categories, Change subtitles of categories
• Add/Remove/Re-order links
• For each link: Change the Text, URL, Images on the right side (+description for the image) and Description

Right now I need a description for all the websites, but the most important content I am looking for is new quality sites related to bitcoin.

I will choose the winner in 10 days, and the prizes are:
The best contributor will get: 200$
2nd place: 100$
3rd: 50$
4-8 (5 places): 20$

Total: 500$
Prizes will be paid in bitcoin, using bitcoinaverage rate 10 days from now.

Contributions will be counted only for content that I choose to add to the site.
If multiple people suggest the same content, I will count the changes of the first person.

Good luck! and lets build together the #1 source for bitcoin websites!
