My Web directory

Let's explore the Web.

The online space is vast and still expanding. Back in the days when search engines actually worked as they should, web directories (link pages) slowly disappeared. Today many surfers tend to share links in directories like this one, to help each other find what they need on the web. I will do so too, until the ad-infested dumps known as search results, will get useful again.
