Back in the day the best way to find cool sites when you were on a cool site was to click next in the webring. In this age of ailing search engines and confidently incorrect AI, it is time for the webring to make a comeback.

This person has given his the code to get started: Webring

    Eh web rings were pretty lame even when they existed. There are plenty of ways to find new stuff these days. I hear they even have sites where anyone can post links and vote on which ones are good.

      Might be an interesting addition to have an aggregator aggregator, something that would count how often a particular website is linked and in what categories it is linked in.

      Then you can filter by how many times that web page has gotten an upvote or downvote.

      If you filtered out social media and all of the say top 100 web pages what would be left and how popular are they?
