What’s missing from the calls for an old web is navigation.

Discoverability requires a crawler, a directory, a hot ranking, or randomization.

What is needed is some kind of hybrid wiki/directory that is more than “page of links to good travel blogs.” It needs to be a database that can be navigated with filters and categories. Filter by travel, filter by country. Filter by food, filter by cuisine, filter by reviews or recipes. It needs both hierarchy and dynamicness, but it also can’t be an open ended search or chat that has no inherent navigation. I want to be able to see what exists before searching, and search should be a tool to refine and pare the results.
