Personal Web Pages

July 15, 2008 by Vinny Lingham

The Wall Street Journal just posted a great article about the growing need for personal web pages written by Jason Fry – I just had to highlight this. This has been one of our visions for SynthaSite – everyone in the world, will one day want to own their own personal website… we want to be the platform that they build it on.

This is great stuff…we’ve read a similar blog post recently and really are becoming convinced that registering the URL of your name is going to be vital to do – if not now..a few years down the line for the exact reasons you listed. Great WSJ article!

Agreed – one day, nearly the entire world will have a web page. Good luck with the goal

roughly 10 years ago myself, Derek Lubner (http://www.allbrandnoflakes.co.za) and Leon Myburgh (http://www.devworx.co.za) – as employees of Tickketweb – had a casual chat about this. I had no idea it would actually happen, even if it took 10 years.

I think you are totally true.. everyone how surfs on the internet wants to know how it works to post and have a website to put his/her thoughts on it. One big easy platform would do the trick! Nice article of Jason Fry.

For the same purpose, I tried to register a domain name of my own name(I have read that on an other blog) and I have missed that. Someone else have got it and parked it. I enjoyed the article though. Thanks for sharing.

Great Information. But this could not be a reality in the nearest time. 60% of the population in this Universe are under starvation, atleast let this dream be our motivator to eradicate the starvation and accomplish the feat of owning their personal websites.

Personal web pages are really growing every second of days and the article is on a great time to come out.

I agree 100% with you. Owning your own domain is one thing, and 8$-10$ per year can be excruciating for some. Check out the currency conversion in some countries.

He did say that MANY will own, and MOST will desire to have a web presence. (If I recall correctly.) Once one obtains their own name domain, if they don't know what to do with it quickly, or get on there and start posting their thoughts to make it a rewarding experience, they will lose the motivation they began with.

Most people

I search for a personal page in google and found Vinny Lingham site and it seems it is on the number one spot. Great site and I'll always visit this one since I found it.

Good article, personal webpages are really booming. for example, typ the word blog in google, even the most commen commercial words doesn’t have this number of indexed webpages. Good luck, Monvesta

I would be interested to know if the number of blog's / personal webpages is increasing in comparison with 10 years ago. I have a feeling that almost everybody had a website in these day's. Now maybe everybody has a facebook page , but a real website ?

Thanks for the good article.

I'm not so sure about this. I think nearly everyone has a Facebook account, and one of the reasons why it is so popular is because of how easy it is to connect and stay updated with others. how will having your own domain do this?

Google will be releasing "google Wave" later this year, an open source platform where sites will be able to be better connected. This could help the idea of everyones domain names taking off, but you will need to gear Yola to operate with this.
