bsy's List of New Web Sites


bsy is now at UCSD, and this page is no longer being maintained here.
WebNews Note: Manually excerpting the URLs have become too tedious with the volume of posts on comp.infosystems.www. This page is obsolete, but will be kept around for a while.

Please look at semi-automatic news excerpts instead.


This page has top level pointers to recent new servers, as announced in comp.infosystems.www and comp.infosystems.announce. The date associated with each entry is the date of the announcement post. If you recently announced a new server and it does not appear here after a few days (for news propagation delay), feel free to send me mail.

See also the Meta-List of What's New Pages, and the local and NCSA what's new pages. The Best of the Web awards page should also be interesting.
