What are people using personal web sites for?

Personal web sites or blogs have become so popular so quickly because anyone can use them for all sorts of things. Here are just a few:

• Share your diary (journal) with those you want to read it
• Get messages to your friends and colleagues instantly, however many there are, for the price of a single text message
• Share photos with friends or colleagues wherever they may be
• Communicate simply and cost-effectively with members of a public or private group
• Broadcast your views to the world on a topic you believe is important and connect with other like-minded individuals
• Promote the views and news of others you agree with or just because you think their thoughts should be read
• Share an events calendar amongst group members
• Use openZpace as the place to do your all email
• Reduce the delays and costs normally associated with updating a corporate web site
