Seriously smart collective of minimalist websites abstracted by a blogger at textbased.com/~minimalist/
Just for fun : between us we could determine what is the collective noun for a clutch of websites: a netlot? a browserful, a screenfiller?
We could make grammatical history here because I think I will alert the OED to our short-list then we can © it to, er … who do you think we should attribute this new collective noun to?
This post is duplicated from IMHO
a link of websites
an url (pronounced “earl”) of websites
a futility of websites
a memory of websites
I’ve been using “ring” if all the sites have something in common. I don’t know where it comes from, but I’ve seen it in other places (“a ring of fan sites”) where you can click on a button to take you to a random one of the sites or move through them in order.

Rings are linked through URLs but I could see using ‘ring’ as a collective noun.
Maze, jungle, knot, labyrinth, mesh, morass, skein, snarl, tangle or linkazoid.

Okay. You know how when you troll XXX-rated porn sites you can accidentally trigger dozens and dozens of explicit pop-ups?
That’s called a clusterfuck .
There are PORN sites on the web?!? :eek:
How about a “gig” of Web sites?
Didn’t I read this in another forum?
In any case, how about a Google of sites?
…or maybe a Gaggle . Collective noun, no trademark issues.
