I am relatively new to the blog, homepage scene. And what i’ve found is something I wish I had known about before hand! The wealth of information out there open for anyone to tap into is just astonishing. So I can’t personally say that I see personal home pages and what not disappearing. But if people are moving away from personal homepages towards blogs with different communities is that really a bad thing. For me it basically means more information in one place. And as nice as it is receiving RSS feeds, I still enjoy going on to sites and seeing around at what people have been writing about.

I’d have to say no. IMO, some personal pages and/or sites aren’t dying but just slowing down and degrading in quality. Blogs, however, are thriving imo.

i have thought about making my own site, but i don’t know i would probably never update it because i am to lazy, but after reading this i might.

I myself have a blog, but I think that the biggest problem is having people find you. Also, a lot of people are looking for a shortcut to make things. They will make stuff only for their friends or relatives and everything is so close knit. I would like to make things more personalized, but if I want someone to find me then I have to go big.

I’ve never really felt the need to keep a “presence” on the net. However, I see many more personal sites showing up on services like MySpace and Facebook so I’ll have to say that personal webpages and blogs are definitely not dying.

I dont think so chris because recently i have created a personal blog in wordpress.

I cant buy a godaddy or webhosting because i cannot presently afford to buy.
But my drean is to buy a domain and a webhosting account and maintain a personal website for myself.

I had a personal blog but found it was too hard to keep up with good posts and modding it was a pain, so I stopped, and as far as homepages, I never really used one, always used my tabs from last session

People need to comunicate and the internet offers a very unic and simple way to do this.That’s why most of the webpages offers to visitors the possibility to coment a post.We live comunicating,interacting one another .

I wouldn’t say they are completely dying, but rather that they are going out of style. Things like these tend to go full circle and will pick up again at some time in the future… when people tire of social networks gaining from their content and personal info.

I don’t think home pages and blogs are dieing but i think they are actually getting better and more popular, there are just crazy amounts of blogs out there and i have discovered quite a few in this very month already but what i do see is that they are commercializing tough, don’t you see it?

I think that personal websites are vanishing, too. It has become so easy to create Myspaces, Facebooks, and other pages on social networking sites that most people just don’t feel the need to create their own site.

Social networks such as MySpace and Facebook are the reason for this decline. With everybody making their own pages on the large social sites, it is much easier for their friends to access than a web page with a URL as long and complected as the one Chris began the video with. I think one thing that will end up re-instituting the personal web page will be the Google Friend Connect. Eventually, people should be able to link all their various flickers of web-info back to 1 archiveable location.
