Web directory
Yellow pages for the surfers.
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.
