12:18 thimbronion Of historical interest: https://infogalactic.com/info/Google_Blog_Search
12:20 thimbronion There was also this: https://infogalactic.com/info/Technorati

16:19 whaack thimbronion: Are you trying to get your search tool to be a global blog search?
16:22 thimbronion whaack: I'm considering it.
16:23 thimbronion I'm not entirely convinced these earlier things died due to lack of interest.
16:24 thimbronion I remember when blogs were good.
16:26 thimbronion I remember when they weren't "side hustle multiple income stream self-help earn money in your sleep" platforms.
~ 1 hours 4 minutes ~
17:31 asciilifeform thimbronion: eh this is a little like 'i remember when email was good; i remember when it didn't consist of herbal cock cure spamola'
17:34 thimbronion asciilifeform: the idea being that email was never good because the seeds of cock cure spam were there from the beginning?
17:38 asciilifeform thimbronion: from at least '94 iirc
17:38 asciilifeform thimbronion: rather, idea is that a thing is only as good as yer bandpass filter for it.
17:39 asciilifeform kinda how most folx prefer to live inside a house, and not a tent where anything and anyone can walk/slither/crawl in whenever it pleases
17:41 thimbronion asciilifeform: indeed. There was an age of "innocence" however, when it was much easier to find real people rather than "earn while you sleep" people.
17:43 asciilifeform thimbronion: the era where had to connect to usenet/email via uni (or megacorp) ? asciilifeform missed (most of) it. enjoyed in canned form, in archives, tho.
17:44 thimbronion There was a brief period where westerners could blog from China, even: https://www.sinosplice.com/life/archives/2004/10/11/blog-death.
17:47 asciilifeform thimbronion: afaik they can still blog all they want, via proxy etc. what they can't do so easily is publicly stink, like 'ngo' liberasts like to do in ru, with impunity, for 'international komyooniti' audience
