TheChain.bz – The Chain Webring & Business Network

The Chain thrives because the internet still needs quiet corners for curious minds.

Each entry is a doorway to something eccentric: experiments, sketches, and studios that prefer making to marketing. Not trending, not gamified—just alive and linkable.
