Why Personal Websites Matter

latif writes "Lately personal websites have fallen out of fashion. Some term them as vanity sites, and others are scared of privacy concerns. The article Why Personal Websites Matter discusses some reasons as to why they have to be embraced to stay competitive." I see the personal website as the virtual equivalent of the front of one's home, except that most virtual homes have large signs in the front yard that give a running play-by-play of the inhabitants. Just like one's home, it may be prone to vandalism, but it's far easier to make one's website be an expression of oneself, than to put up large signs outside!

Corporate control of the internet is -and since 1996 has been- a shaping factor of the internet. I used to believe that there was nothing much that could be done about it, and then I read this article wich gives some insight into alternatives to big-corp controlled net experience.

Obviously everyone doesn't feel that way.

If a person is consistently able to come up with good content s/he will be recognized for that. People will perceive that person as an expert on topics s/he writes regularly about.

You can also learn that s/he is an uptight grammar/gender nazi.

Fotunately, the magic money pixies bring you food and pay for your rent.
