Anyone else remember "web rings" from the 1990's?
- banfeld 7y agoYes. There are a few smaller webrings about, but blog discovery is a problem unsolved.
- chrisaldrich 7y agoHere's a list of several including an "IndieWeb Ring" that was started in the last two years that features personal websites: https://indieweb.org/webring https://indieweb.org/webring
- weci2i 7y agoIt's funny that you mention this. I was just explaining to a young coworker how we basically had social networking in the 90's. My friends and I (even nontechnical kids) all maintained Geocities, Angelfire, and Tripod pages. We'd load them up with free scripts for counters, guestbooks, and cheesy popup messages. Then we'd all link around to each others' pages and follow each other with web rings.
