Should we still bother with personal websites?

The host I was using for my personal website has up and vanished so as I think about finding a new one I've also been thinking about rebuilding the site into something new. But then I got to wondering, what I would be doing all this work for? Do people really still bother with personal sites these days or do they just put their stuff on facebook or a blog? I'm not really looking to sell myself as a studio or anything yet I feel compelled to keep my projects on some corner of the internet even if I'm the only person that's there. But by having that space available to me I feel like I should be doing something more. What are your thoughts on personal websites these days? As programmers, should we still make a point of maintaining our own site? If so, what should it be? Or does it matter? [Edited by - Ravuya on February 9, 2010 4:16:19 PM]
