Linkscorner |link| May 2026

But the spirit of LinksCorner never died. It lives on in every "Awesome Lists" GitHub repository, every curated newsletter, and every subreddit wiki. It is the eternal reminder that algorithms are fast, but human curation is meaningful.

If you were building a website in 1998, you had a problem. You had figured out how to code a blinking <h1> tag and how to embed a MIDI file of "Wind Beneath My Wings." But what about the rest of the web? How did you tell visitors where to go next?

The currency of this economy was the "Link Back." To be featured on LinksCorner, you had to place a small, 88x31 pixel button on your own site—usually an animated GIF that read "Proud member of LinksCorner" or "Listed with LinksCorner."

But it was the quality of those links that mattered.
