It's quite amazing how people have flocked to places like Facebook and are happy to share photos and personal information about themselves, yet have so little control over the information. Yet they continue to do it in droves.
For me personally, I was introduced to having my website early on and have many sites that I own and control what goes on them. If I want to remove information I posted previously, it is not a problem.
One great advantage of having your own website is you can have the social advantages in your control. You can have people providing information on your site, and you can profit from it. You can create your own network of friends and build something that is long lasting without wondering what Facebook may do after the IPO.
Why aren't more people choosing to get their own websites?
I don't understand. Enlighten me please.
