How to browse Gophersphere
==========================
I've realized that I'm listed on [Bongusta]. It's always nice for an
author that somebody made a request to put my Phlog there, despite it
isn't very active and it hasn't many long entries in the Phlog
section. Regardless if I'm on the list or not, Bongusta is my top
Gopherhole and I'm visiting it every time I'm browsing
Gophersphere. And I started to think about how I browse Gophersphere.
Public aggregators
------------------
Probably the first thing every person starts browsing Gophersphere do
is visit public aggregators. There are several Gopherholes like
Bongusta. I'm reading [Gopher club] which is grouping SDF Phlogs. By
being on a public aggregator for a while you will know many of well
know nicks of Gophersphere.
Local aggregator
----------------
It's handy to have a public page with links sorted by the last
activity. So I'm using also a local aggregator built on [Comitium]. It
publishes on Gemini, but it's covering Gopher pages also (without the
need for a RSS feed, which is convenient). And I'm visiting my local
aggregator every day. Sometimes most entries are repeated against
public aggregators. But it's our aggregator!
Random pick
-----------
Keeping a local aggregator is hard work. Many Gopherholes come up and
many go quiet. Sometimes Gopherholes of well know nicks are
insufficient or I got bored for a while. Sometimes is good to [show 5
random gopher servers]. It's a quick move to go through only five
Gopherholes and the reward can be much greater than the time spent on
it.
