Some things I miss:

- A webring at the bottom of every website

- Websites having "awards" pages, full of random little picture awards given out by other random websites

- Hand-curated directories of everything imagineable

- When internet ads were just static 468x60 banners placed on individual sites by individual advertisers

- "Guided tours" in AOL chat rooms, where a host guided everyone in a live chat on a split-screen tour of their favorite websites

- MUDs

- Stumbleupon's stumble toolbar
