Personally, I cannot remember the last time I used an actual directory to find a business. Usually it is Google Maps or some other tool that I use, if I need to find a business close to my house. As evidenced by the dropping traffic numbers of DMOZ, other users are doing the same.
On a side-note, anyone who ever tried submitting to DMOZ will remember how much of a hit-or-miss affair it was to get their site accepted — I sure won’t miss that whole process.
