This is a good example of the kind of content that my ideal Internet would be composed of. There would be no social networks, no comments or like buttons, no advertisements, no search engines. Every website would be substantial. It's nice to dream.
- eru 11y agoWhy no search engines? How would you find these good websites?
- HarryHirsch 11y agoBack then we had abstracts, indices, bibliographies, librarians. Let's not pretend that the literature was inaccessible before Google.
- nkuttler 11y agoAnd you spent countless hours or even days finding the most relevant documents.
- soylentcola 11y agoSure, but "search and query" is still incredibly useful in many situations compared to indexes or even curated lists/collections. I certainly use those as well but both models are tools suited to particular situations.

- arethuza 11y agoMosaic had a "What's New" page... for quite a while that was the main way of finding new stuff on the web!
- nkuttler 11y agoThere are no links to more relevant information either. It seems like one of the most basic features of HTML, and arguably it's most important one, wasn't used.
