But what\u2019s the cost of this all-in-one internet portal? Creativity. I\u2019m not talking about not sending a birthday or holiday card to your friend because a \u201cwall post\u201d will do, I\u2019m talking about how Facebook is killing off personal websites.<br \/>\nFirst there were the photo albums, then notes, then shares. Now virtually all your internet activities can be done via Facebook. And it has taken its toll.<br \/>\nOn a personal level, there are sites of mine such as <a href=\"http:\/\/ais2002.com\">AIS2002.COM<\/a>, which has 1715 replies to 139 Topics. All but maybe 100 of those posts were posted before 2006, when Facebook began to seriously take over people\u2019s internet activities.<br \/>\nFacebook\u2019s group technology has serious flaws however. Most groups are only highly visited when new, causing thousands to be created daily, often on the exact same premise as countless others. Individual discussion topics can\u2019t be \u201cshared,\u201d only entire groups can. And customization of the groups is largely restricted to \u201csponsored groups.\u201d<br \/>\nFacebook has an import option for notes that allows you to continue writing things on your blog and have them appear as imported notes on Facebook. That\u2019s kind of the best of both worlds.<br \/>\nI don\u2019t really know where I\u2019m going with this, other than that I\u2019m going to bring the personal website back! And I\u2019m ironically doing that by starting a <a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/group.php?gid=2244046852\">Facebook group<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook allows me keep in touch with people on a daily basis.
