If I remember correctly, it used to be called About.com - with categorized and human curated links.
It was big during the dot com days, but withered after Google.
Interestingly, I do think that that model may need to be revisited.
Edit: I feel that Reddit is filling some of this need, at least for things like Vaccuum and Espresso machines with dedicated spaces.
- celestialcheese 5y agoIt's funny you mentioned About.com. Or as it's known today DotDash AKA IAC. It's easily one of the largest SEO players out there, and they've been on a buying spree recently with their purchase of Meredith. The quality of the content has gotten better, but it's still a monster of an SEO optimized content machine.
- yumraj 5y agoYes, I know nothing about what they’re doing today. In fact my pihole blocks them, must be in some list. So I’m pretty sure they’re crap today. I just remember the concept from way back.
