I would like to say that if ever there was a project that resonates so well with the small web ethos of #DS106 and other web-adjacent projects (like #clmooc), the Internet Phone Book takes the cake. https://internetphonebook.net/ I have a hard copy and I am slowly diving in, nodding my head in affirmation of its celebration of independent web voices. (and thinking a lot of @cogdog and his continue mission to celebration many of the same concepts). I'm so glad projects like this still exist, you know?

@dogtrax @cogdog sold out. Because that can happen to paper-based products, along with a ton of other inconveniences

@dogtrax Me too. It’s a nice throwback to those early web years when printed books and magazines like “The Net” were importsnt ways of finding web sites to explore. Books. Printed books as the gateway to the web.

It was a huge thrill when the site for my center got featured in The World Wide Web Unleashed (1994) https://flic.kr/p/bkrg3

Wow, This Web Thing Might be BIG

Our MCLI site once at www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu got featured in one of the early books about the web, The World Wide Web Unleashed by John December (1994). Now archived at mcli.cogdogblog.com

@dogtrax I don’t think I signed up, looked at the site in October. Who knows, maybe I did! Let me know if you find me, let your fingers do the clicking as they never said
