I loved this feeling that I got when I found a web-page with good content that was hard to find. It was like opening a treasure trove. There were also a lot of different (rough) designs with personality making the experience much richer.
Now information is per page, accessible from Google. And everyone is mimicking other people's design. More and more people are consuming than creating and it changes the ecosystem. I would love to see more personal wikies that have traesures in them.

Squatters, I fear, are moving to NeoCities, but here and there I find some sites that are diamonds in the rough. Individually hosted sites are rarer still.

Once in a while Google will get these pages or you might see a Wiki page created for them, but for the most part, they're really spread through manual sharing.
