Hi bileuze - I used to do talks that were sponsored by various organizations. They'd put a brief bio or brief workshop description on the poster or e-mail notice. At the bottom they'd put For more information, see ...website. it helped people get -- more information, which they seemed to want before signing up for something.

The website was also useful for job applications.

At graduate schools, they encourage students to have a departmental website so people could see their research areas. I can see lots of reasons to have one.

I've done a really bad job, though, of keeping my website up to date.
