BROWSING THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE PERSONAL WEB

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The Japanese Personal Web, or as they call it, creative/doujin sites, are personal websites indexed on specialized search engines. The criteria to be listed on these search engines is strict as sites with more formal contexts (eg business sites) aren't allowed. This article takes a look at some of these Japanese personal websites and compares them to similar sites from the West. The Personal Web is still very alive in the East, with many sites surviving for over a decade or two.
