  1. Radio Garden

    Spin a globe, click a green dot and you're hearing live radio from a small town you couldn't find on a map. It's still magic every time.

  2. Neal.fun — Neal Agarwal

    Silly little interactive projects like The Password Game and Spend Bill Gates' Money, made with the energy of a kid with a Geocities page and real skills.

  3. Wikipedia

    Still no ads, still made by volunteers, and still the best place to lose an hour going from toasters to the Byzantine Empire.

  4. Marginalia Search

    An independent search engine that pushes small, non-commercial personal sites to the top. It's like finding a webring again.

  5. Wayback Machine — Internet Archive

    The Internet Archive's time machine for the web. Pull up your favorite band's site from 2003 and remember when every site had a guestbook.
