 * Comment I'm struggling to find sources online, but the original incarnation of this in the mid-90s surely has importance in internet history as one of the first guides to the web (along with the original Yahoo! hierarchical directory). I'm not sure about subsequent incarnations, which appear much less notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 08:42, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
