How many Amiga sites are there on the Net?

Did you visit them all? Would you like to?

Have you noticed that Internet search engines lack a lot of Amiga sites? On top of that, many of those that are there are dead links anyways.

Link pages on Amiga sites are usually all the same, having links only to a handful of most important sites.

Wouldn't it be great if ALL Amiga web sites were somehow connected so that you can smoothly surf from one to another?

"Amiga web ring" is clickBOOM's project intended to connect all (personal and commercial) Amiga web sites on Internet. We have just started with this plan, and for it to ultimately succeed we need all Amiga web site owners to join this magnificent way of making Amiga web presence stronger and more organized.

How is it being done?

NON-TECHNICAL EXPLANATION:
Imagine for a moment that every Amiga web site has a control panel like this on its main page:

A visitor to any site in this "Amiga ring" can simply click on the "next" button to jump to the next site in the ring. He can then explore this new site, and at any time use the panel from this site to go to the next one in the ring.

Going from one site to another would allow a user to eventually visit all Amiga web sites and after making a "full circle" he would be back to the site where he started from.

In addition to this, the ring allows a user to go in both "directions", skip a site, see the next or previous five sites, or jump to a random site in the ring.




TECHNICAL EXPLANATION:
Every site in the ring contains a piece of HTML code on its main page.
1. It displays the control panel.
2. All buttons on the panel have links to CGI script that automatically handles the list of all sites in the ring.
3. When a new site is added to the ring, CGI transparently handles "next" and "previous" links for the last and first site, to accommodate this new site in the ring.
4. If, for example, site "B" is removed from the ring, CGI script is updated instantly, so next site after "A" would be "C". This is absolutely transparent for both user and web master.
