The Internet has a big discoverability problem now that search has a big advertising conflict of interests. The only way to find web "human" content is to rely on the curation of other humans.

Funny enough mining those links is what made Google the giant it is now. But this time around we will not be fooled by the next "don't be evil" tech giant :D

I already posted a top-level comment about this but I tried to tackle this specific problem when I built Recess (https://github.com/yakkomajuri/recess) which might interest you. Never got any traction so I dropped it.

The idea was to be a content aggregator for what I called "siloed content" (personal websites, blogs, etc). The ideas are outlined here if anyone's keen:

I'm happy for someone to take this over too even if they're interested. It's MIT-licensed.
