This is probably one of the coolest articles I have read in a long time. “Hunting the Nearly-Invisible Personal Website” is absolutely worth a read!

I found this article using the “forum animal” “Hacker News” and it’s funny to see my blogroll linked in the article.

The personal website is a somewhat mysterious animal that lives mostly unobserved in the jungle of the Internet. A few inexperienced Internet users who live completely within the golden-walled gardens of Facebook and Google may not even be aware of the species’ existence.

Another interesting fact about “darknets” is that the name is largely a misnomer; darknets are only dark to corporate predators whose eyes can only see with large dollar signs illuminating the landscape.
