Is there a place/system for discovering or aggregating personal websites like this? Remember old school "directory" sites and tools like del.icio.us? There were awesome compared to being at the mercy of google.
Personally, I've just been keeping a running list in my notes for cool personal sites I find / subscribing to the RSS feed if it has one, mostly discovered from exploring the interlinking web in this space.

The simple solution could be another search index that hasn't been commoditized like Google has, but I wonder if a manual curation approach might lead to higher quality? Something along the lines of a weekly digest of personal sites that are interesting/unique/fun. Process could look like:
1. Users submit their personal sites for review, accompanied by some blurb/tags. Essentially something to make the cost of submission > 0.
2. Site admin reviews submissions once a week and either select their top X favorite, or just remove any low quality/slop submissions and shares the rest.
