Normally we downweight follow-ups but this is cool and I think there's room for one more!

View on HN

If several people create this, it is quite a decentralized way to discover blogs. More people should do this.

Yeah it's been an extremely useful dataset.

I've been using it to calibrate my search engine's quality website detection since it's effectively a large set of high quality websites.

some personal notes you may find useful

Sweet, I'm always on the look collections of websites with consistently higher quality. Anything is better than the sketchy SQL queries I have to resort to in order to grow the index programmatically.

Probably anything from the planets (eg: planet-if, planet gnome) should be of reasonable quality too, and focused by general topic.

Thank you. With respect to the various individuals working to build their own directories, marginalia search is the missing element that allows me to sift through the register of blogs that are being collected.

This whole thing that's been happening the past few days feels like HN at its finest.

Aw, my blog is still not in there :(

Add it :)

Ahh I looked a few times for a way to submit but didn't find this, thanks!

Yeah I only added the link the other week. Was a bit skeptical about using github, but so far github seems like a very useful way of crowdsourcing index entries.

I think we call it the year 2002 and I love it. A normally distributed Internet is the way.
