[Sigia-l] Wither the HomePage?

[Listera]

The question of what should be on a home page always comes up here. Now, Tim
Bray (I know some of you folks like him) claims the need for home pages is
declining:

> My browser home page is an HTML file on my hard drive. It has 58 links on it,
> and I used to use all of them, but I use less and less all the time, and I
> think the importance of the ³home page² is declining steadily.
> 
> The reason, of course, is RSS.
> [...]
> Maybe hardest-hit, if my example is typical, is Yahoo, I used to hit
> my.yahoo.com a dozen times per day to see what was new. RSS does that quicker,
> cheaper, and better.
> 
> So, to the extent that you have a dynamic presence and an RSS feed, your
> homepage doesn't matter that much.
