Original announcement on Hacker News

There was a thread on HN asking for people to post their personal blogs. Another HNer scraped the thread to create a website with a list of blogs with an intro in the words of the blog owner.

It reminds me of the olden days, pre Altavista when you depended on curated lists and indices to find stuff on the internet. Pre that we had WAIS and Gopher. I started out “browsing” with telnet.
