Old Web

Old web is a compilation of web pages from the web as it used to be.

Some of these pages may not be on the web any more, but most are available on the Wayback Machine

What makes something old web? Commonly seen, but not required, are:

• Complex link structures, not simply flat or hierarchical. Ubiquitous inter-sentence hyperlinks.
• Extraordinary depth of content in single topic, or extraordinary breadth of topics that don't seem to be related beyond being the hobbies of the author. Esoteric content is particularly valuable.
• Single author who is a personal enthusiast of the topics they discuss.
• Non commercial

Negative factors:

• Deprioritizing old content (most blog-style architectures). Old web content does not get less interesting with age.
