| Hey Viktor! #1 There are a couple of factors. - More recent content tends to be more relevant given the same search query, or at least its freshnes will contribute to it not being completely irrelevant (which is the worse thing you want in a search engine). The quality of it is already guaranteed to some extent by this being a curated list to begin with. - It was relatively easy to assemble and maintain the list because it relies on RSS feed tech, and there were a lot of sources to seed it. - Focus on recent writing can encourage some people to write (more) as we had an example highlighted in the blog post. In general, the web needs more high quality, non-commercial content, and this is ultimately what we want to contribute towards with this. By providing a platform (even if very small) to encourage this behavior we get a step closer to the web we like. #2 In general I agree. Although I should say we did spend effort to create a diverse pool of websites for this initiative (for example I am seeing a lot of economy or photography). Again, we can only encourage the creation of more content in various areas through platforms like Kagi (and Marginalia) and hope that it will work out at the end. |
