Hyplan or home page?

In the really early days of the Web, when men were real men, women were real women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri, there were hyplans, and there were home pages. A home page was a list of links you enjoyed keeping track of, and a hyplan, or hypertext plan (by reference to the .plan displayed returned by the UNIX finger command), was a hypertext page where you told the rest of the world about yourself.

These days, it seems like the word ``home page'' has taken on the meaning of hyplan as well. I suspect it has something to do with the commonality of hotlists (bookmarks) of modern browsers; the only purpose to keep a list of links is to show them to the world, and it makes sense to introduce yourself first so they understand why you like those pages... right?
