Why would anyone write about directories of directories?
Basically the lists of directories are nowadays useful for two purposes: they help you to promote your directory and these lists are also useful if you are plannig to promote your web site by submitting it to various directories.
For Directory Owners
If your directory is submitted to these directories of directories not only some link juice will be passed to your link collection, but the attention of various web site promoters and link builders will be drawn, thus helping your directory to evolve, getting more submitters.
For Link Builders
Extensive, up-to-date and well managed directories of directories can ease the tedious tasks of finding the right directories to submit your site to, especially if you have a certain concept (e.g. looking for niche, regional, or free direcories) rather than posting your site everywhere. These lists might come very handy if you happen to build links in a new language or a new niche topic you never did before.
For Search
List of directories and search engines were considered a useful tool at the dawn of the web, when directories were in many cases equal to search engines, and just a few search engine or directory was able to cover more than a specific region or country. Nowadays — I guess — nobody uses the directories of directories for searching.
