Personal sites, dudes, not corporate ones.
I think everyone here see the many points that gets everyone on facebook (and in a way, blogs too) instead of going through the trouble of making a personal site. And notifying everyone you had one.
But aren't they personal?
Geocities evolved into Myspace and the likes.
Myspace (and the likes) eased up the part of letting friends/people follow you. And that evolved into Facebook. Sure, you can't really tweak the look that much as Geocities (and then (but less so) Myspace. But the whole purpose of having those pages are pretty much the same. And 15 years later just as superficial.However, because ones personal "touch" designwise dimmed doesn't mean those pages aren't personal any more:
Design might distinguish your site a bit but thoughts and ramblings like these are unique (well, not this rambling) and personal to oneself. Who cares about the bgcolor they're typed on besides us?
