Kagi: Small Web
β’ 175 words β’ 1 min
Kagi is a paid search engine.
The Kagi Small Web is:
the non-commercial part of the web, crafted by individuals to express themselves or share knowledge without seeking any financial gain. This concept often evokes nostalgia for the early, less commercialized days of the web, before the ad-supported business model took over the internet (and we started fighting back!)
Kagi supports searching websites within the Small Web via a dedicated lens (think of it as a search scope).
They also provide a integrated RSS feed (think of it as a “small web planet”).
And, also, a navigator (think of it as StumbleUpon or Digg in the early days).
The small web somewhat correlates with the IndieWeb:
What is the IndieWeb?
The IndieWeb is a people-focused alternative to the “corporate web”.
We are a community of independent and personal websites based on the principles of: owning your domain and using it as your primary online identity, publishing on your own site first (optionally elsewhere), and owning your content.
It is a great source of serendipity.
