I retracted my skeptical post from May 31st after discovering that Satish’s site actually links to mine. I confirmed this using a Google link search, which serves as a small but meaningful validation of my early blogging efforts.
I highlight the launch of Google Related Links, which followed Yahoo's Y!Q in providing contextually relevant search results and links. This service aimed to enhance web browsing by surfacing information related to the current page.
I'm sharing The Guardian's 2002 list of favorite blogs, which features Satish’s Random Thoughts. It provides a unique snapshot of the early blogosphere and the personal sites that first caught the attention of mainstream media outlets.
I found a valuable collection of readings on weblogging from a UC Berkeley journalism course. These links cover the early academic and professional perspectives on the blogging phenomenon as it emerged in 2002.
I found a solid collection of Bollywood links featuring resources for Indian cinema and culture. It serves as a helpful directory for fans looking for movies, music, and news from the industry.
I prevent link rot by linking to Google search queries or 'I'm Feeling Lucky' results instead of static URLs. This ensures readers find relevant content even years later when original sites change their structure or move pages.
