I miss the Directory listings of a search engine. It was great for finding a series of niche sites based on “Quake III news” or “Subaru Impreza owners club” or such like.

SEO has ruined the web 1.0 efforts to just shotgun news and opinion onto the web (fact checking was purely optional) - everything’s just a bit too clean and corporate now. Shame.
