Interesting websites
I do not put here links for the purpose of reciprocal linking.
Legend |
Legend > Motivation |
All the links that I put here are to websites that I like for one reason or another. Bold links are more important, for various reasons, than the others in the same category.
Beginning from year 2000, when I started navigating on the Internet, I navigated a lot, to say the least. I visited all the websites that are written here. Some of them I studied in-depth, some I only looked at.
I have put all these links here because I used or use those websites, because I could have a use for them in the future, and because I think people could use them as sources of high quality services.
I gather these links by simply navigating on the Internet. I do not use Internet directories to look for them. I either navigate from one website to another, using the links present in webpages, or I visit the websites other people have visited and tell the world about them in forums.
I also remove websites for which I find better alternatives. Still, competition is the only thing which maintains the quality of services, and thus I do keep several websites which offer similar services.
I am not interested in building an Internet directory. I simply gather websites that I could actually use, or they present very interesting stuff (like those from the Top technology section).
