@SportsGoblin oh god did they not already know this

there is a genre of japanese 4koma comic which to me feels basically like Family Circus. and i am pondering this and wondering if maybe we Americans are failing as a culture to develop a capacity for appreciating these things

@aschmitz yeah i mean i think “good website” needs to be very broad and largely objective in order to do something like this

this of course implies a good website webring

how many good websites could we pay domain and hosting for with good website fund

good website fund that pays you $100 a year for having a good website

@gaditb i promise i am writing a blogpost

@gaditb well, i guess my stance is that a search engine that is trying to connect users to the most reliable information pertaining to their query is maybe not the best technology for meeting that goal in all cases, but it does have some advantages [particularly for niche queries with few results that might not be indexed in any other system] and it is not particularly problematic to participate in that information economy

but also search engines do not try to do that these days and now they are all participating in an a·i information economy instead, so

@gaditb i feel like being bad in either sense is a detriment

i would feel worse about not being very reachable via search engine if search engines were good
