I completely agree with you. Discovery still seems to be the hardest problem to solve.
I, as a blog owner, I decided that the best way to contribute solve this problem comes in two ways:
1) By linking more to external sites and talk about websites I like and push for more networking to take place rather than only linking internally to generate more traffic
2) I created https://theforest.link/ https://theforest.link/ as a way to bring back some of the fun in the way we explore the web.
These two won’t obviously solve the problem altogether but I think if more people try their best to spread the word about content worth consuming we can solve the discovery issue without inventing a separate discovery platform.
Also, we should bring back blogrolls
- indigodaddy 5y agoHey your site is really cool! How/where/in what fashion did you compile your random list of sites?
- manuelmoreale 5y agoIt’s just a curated list of all sorts of random links, stored on airtable. The site is as low tech as it gets. I was just trying to make something fun and help people discover interesting sites. It’s mostly personal sites/blogs and some indie publication.
