Directory of Web Rings Resources

Home > Computers > Internet > On the Web > Web Rings

Web rings (or perhaps more commonly, "webrings") are groupings of sites that share a common topical interest with distributed navigation structure. Through links on member pages such as Next, Previous, and List Sites, visitors can navigate to similar but independent pages elsewhere on the web. A list owner generally serves as moderator and administrator for a ring.
