Fascinating. Search engines are so bad, that we are going back to the pre-search engine era of pages of hand-curated links.

At this point it may be necessary. All of the search engines are essentially the same now and all you can find are mostly a handful of curated e-commerce sites. The "wide" part of the web has all but disappeared.

This reminds of the World Wide Web circa 1993. Yahoo was a kind of categorized link directory.

How do people make use of such an aggregator? Do people checkout blogs individually and subscribe to feeds to individual blogs or interest? The sheer number of the collection dissuades me. I'm wondering, instead, if it'd be useful for the aggregator to offer an aggregated feed itself, but that might be too rand om a feed and subjects!

Absolutely awesome ... an oasis in a hostile desert. We needs more webrings and curated link portals (which this essentially is) ...

Thank you devs!
