>Your comment suggested a new tool/feature to me: what if we had something like Google, except it added the additional constraint where it only led you to sites/pages that were in that old retro lean static simple HTML style. The graph of text pages, perhaps with embedded images, version of the web. Sometimes when looking for knowledge on Google and can only find blogspam, if the information isn't particularly volatile over time, e.g. information about effective exercises for various purposes, then I've got a trick that sometimes helps: Use google's search tools to limit the results to a custom range of time, and only specify the end date as something like 2002. You end up getting just pre-web-2.0 stuff.
