On: Ask HN: What website, from your early days on the net, do you miss?

[eitland]

* Personal websites from before blogging become commonplace - often part of web rings where you could visit one after another page.

* My own and my friends silly pages.

* Not a page but a feature: referrers weren't blocked so we could check who sent us traffic and visit their pages.

* searching with the old google.com before SEO became popular.

I visit https://monkey.org/ every couple of years just to bring back memories.

"searching with the old google.com before SEO became popular"

I wish I could give people these days an idea of what this was like.
