A fun trend on the "small web" is the use of 88x31 badges that link to friends websites or in webrings. I have a few on my website, and you can browse a ton of small web websites that way.

my main problem with such links is... how often do you update them? how often do you check those websites to see that they're still active?

I remember going through all the blogs linked on terry tao's blog - out of like 50 there were only 8-ish still alive :(

A beautiful trend that has been going for 30 years ;-)

One of the happiest moments of my childhood (I'm exagerating) was when my button was placed in that website that I loved to visit everyday. It was one of the best validations I ever received :)
