At my in-laws’ house getting started on the long process of clearing it out. Found this gem from 1998 being used as a monitor stand. It’s about 2.5” (65mm) thick and holds *dozens* of literal bookmarks. #Relic #SoDusty

Front cover of “World Wide Web Internet Yellow Pages, Seventh Edition”.
Side view to give some sense of scale to just how thick the book is.
Dozens of bookmarks visible along the top edge.

@joeyh That’s amazing! So glad you even thought to look for that.

@CaptainFlab Given the self-destruction of search engines, maybe it's time for a printed Internet Yellow Pages comeback. Perhaps with QR codes?

On a small scale, you could make 3-ring binders with local websites and put them in public spaces like coffee shops, so you can easily add or remove pages as websites come and go.

@skyfaller @CaptainFlab We need a Wikipedia style project but it’s community vetted websites organized into an ontological system
