Friends of ProveWorth
Websites used to point at each other. Blogrolls, webrings, the MySpace Top 8. Then everyone got protective of their links and the personal web went quiet.
Nick Gray started slashfriends.org to bring the habit back. Put a page at /friends and link to the people you actually like.

Nick wrote The 2-Hour Cocktail Party and sold Museum Hack. He also started slashfriends.org, which is the reason this page exists at all. He has spent years on a question we think about constantly: how a room full of strangers turns into a group that actually likes each other.

Make a page at yoursite.com/friends
Same path as everyone else. That is the whole trick, and it is why people and crawlers can both find it.

List the people you actually like
Nick suggests starting with five real friends and five good follows. Personal sites are ideal, social profiles work fine.

Say why you like each one
The specific reason is the part people remember. "Great newsletter" is forgettable. "She called me out of the blue and we talked for an hour" is not.

Submit it to slashfriends.org
No account, no queue. Your page gets listed and other people start finding their way to you.
This is a /friends page, inspired by slashfriends.org and Nick Gray.

Send it over. We read everything that comes in, and we like linking to people who are doing the work.
