found you through the blue moon ring.
your links page is going to take me all night.
Found you through...
This is my favorite guestbook phrase because it leaves a little map. Sometimes the map is useful. Sometimes it says "found you through Lisa" and there were seventeen Lisas.
| Source named | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| a webring | The visitor clicked previous, next, random, or list sites. |
| a links page | Someone kept a hand-made directory of friends and pages they liked. |
| a search engine | Usually AltaVista, Yahoo, Lycos, or later Google. |
| another guestbook | Guestbooks themselves worked like paths between pages. |
| a button exchange | One 88 x 31 rectangle led to another. |
That is not a bad description of the old web, honestly.
