-
The human-edited web directory descended from DMOZ, which descended from the age when directories were how you found things. Still edited; still human.
-
Random posts from random personal blogs, one at a time. A slot machine that pays out in paragraphs.
-
A search engine built by one person to favor text-heavy, non-commercial pages: personal sites, essays, oddities. Searching here feels like 2004 in the good way.
-
Search the web with the top million sites removed. What is left is the rest of the internet.
-
The sites on Neocities, by newest, most followed, or tag. The closest thing to GeoCities' neighborhoods that is alive today.
-
A directory of blogs, sorted by subject, with a random button. Because blogs still exist and someone had to count them.
-
A search engine and directory of personal and independent websites, with the owners verified as the owners.
-
Browse the web as it was in a chosen year, through a proxy built for old computers and old browsers. Point a 1998 machine at it and it works.
-
A search engine that only indexes small, hand-made, mostly old-style pages, submitted by people. The 'surprise me' button is the best button on the web.
-
A webring of hand-made sites by artists, programmers and tinkerers, with a visible register and a random exit. The real thing, still turning.
