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!

    Geez, what a bitch! If you just had her first name on there, it's hardly vicious slander save for the three or four friends of yours who read it *and* know who she was. You probably did well to avoid dating her way back when.
