This week saw the launch of two services that randomly serve up servings of the Small Web / Indie Web. What is the Small or Indie Web? You’re soaking in it!
A Tiny Bell and other personal blogs are part of it. If you like this kind of content, you may want to check out:
IndieBlog.Page which has an Open Random Blog Post button that you can click or add to your browser as an extension. Hit it when you need a fix.
