Some of us figured out in the 1950s that blacklists were a bad idea. Some of us have that lesson still ahead of us.

Memepool Has Links
1999-01-17 19:36:00
Memepool.com -- a links-to-links-to-links site by a bunch of freak-os from Carnegie Mellon and the IRC #perl channel -- has a whole buncha links. I mean, like, a lot. Yeah, really, a Web site by IRC freaks (and people from CMU (and some other people)). Serious!
Memepool is in my mind pretty OK. It's got a heavy geek factor -- you can tell they've done their Slashdot homework -- plus a lot of other stuff.
The site's nothing to write home about, design-wise. But that's OK. A little less dancing baloney won't hurt the Web much, that's for sure.
The thing that bugs me most is that they don't put much descriptive text around the links. I mean, it costs me TIME to go visit those links. I want to know what I'm going to see, dammit.
Anyways, I'd give memepool.com a B. It's better than average for a links-to-links-to-links site. I'm also retrogressively downgrading CamWorld to a C, just because it's not as good as memepool, and I guess I got a little generous with the grading there. OK, so, beauty. Check out memepool. GO there. Now. Do it.
