I've been on a hot streak of late for lucking into some list sites referencing additional sites - including nested list sites. Beats the hell out of of the search engine centric approach. In fact, I feel a song spoof coming on even as I type:

imagine there's no search results
       I wonder if you can
  no need for ads or javascript
    a surferhood of <pronoun>

Well... I'm not saying it doesn't need some work.... :-)

I genuinely think this is what the internet will evolve into -- people sharing lists of their trusted sites to friends, and their friends' friends.

Sort of like ad-blocking lists, with the added danger that companies might pay people with popular lists to insert their corporate site onto it.
