Hi Jack,
I thoroughly enjoyed your article on bringing back the human-curated web directory. It’s refreshing to see the case made for more thoughtful, curated web experiences, especially in an age where algorithms dominate. I couldn’t agree more that there’s a unique value in human touch—one that offers better organization, context, and relevance.
Kadaza.com is exactly what you’re talking about—a modern take on the classic directory model, offering a user-friendly, customizable homepage that organizes the most popular websites by topic. It’s a curated experience that puts people first, delivering a clear and accessible view of the web, just like Yahoo once did.
I think Kadaza exemplifies the very vision you mentioned: a well-curated and meaningful way to navigate the digital world, without the clutter of endless search results.
Thanks for such a thought-provoking article!
A bit of a stretch, Karel. Curlie would be a far better example of what I am talking about.
While Kadaza has merit, the defaults still take people to the top sites, and I realize this is by design. In my opinion, what the web needs is greater diversity (which we had in the 1990s), not sites sending traffic to the usual suspects.
