When I say “I don’t know where everyone went,” I know everyone’s out there surfing the web, of course, but it feels like it’s a different place now. When the algorithms are determining everything we should be seeing, it’s a much less personal internet. The “For You” pages of the world are right, I am interested in that content, but I’m not seeing it from my friends, or that one author I like, or that random blog I found when I was learning about an obscure hobby. --Human Curation
It’s a bit strange, almost nobody seems to be doing this. Looking through a sample of personal websites, very few of them has links to other personal websites. A hyperlink isn’t a marriage proposal. It is enough to find some redeeming quality in a website to link to it. It costs nothing, and helps bring traffic to pages that you yourself think deserve it. --The Small Website Discoverability Crisis
i see parts of the small web peeking out of social media in moments like these. there is a desire for humans to want to see how each other lives: the true lives of us, not the shiny, truth-omitted ones that exist on social media. --Embracing the Small Web for Connection
In my opinion we must look within for the solution. We are the human beings that are meant to curate the web. We should continue to spread the word about how we use the web, which is very personal and as active participants. We should make clear our desire for technologies that are accessible for non-technical people to be able to join us in controlling their own web presence. We build our websites and share our thoughts and link our links. Over time the web becomes surfable to more and more people. --We Are the Curators of the Web
I’m offering a wholly unnecessary preamble to a coming faucet drip of posts that will say, without my actually saying it, “Look, here’s something I find interesting enough to record, preserve, and share, and I thought you might find it interesting, too.” --The Blog as Commonplace Book
Keeping a blog, the modern commonplace book, is a good way to see our own progress. It makes our endeavors have a more tangible manifestation. The process of collecting, transcribing, reflecting and archiving, is in itself a helpful method to cement the things in memory, and also to make them easier to find and revisit in the future. A lovely tradition. --Blogs as Modern Commonplace Books, and the Pleasures Thereof via Blogs as Modern Commonplace Books
