A Personal Professional webpage for everyone?

My friend this weekend told me to google Dan Rosenberg is awesome. I did as he asked. I asked him why he wanted me to do that and he was very proud his site came up first. His site (http://www.dan-rosenberg.com/) is basically an online portfolio of himself to show to future employers. I can’t help but wonder if a simple online site (not as personalized or as complex as his) may be the future. Everyone could have their own name.com site that had a resume, picture and other things. I know sites like this currently exist but I feel that maybe soon it won’t be on another site but it will just be your own site. He decided to make this site since he is studying marketing and wanted to be able to show of his talents. But if everyone had a simple template it would be a great way to search someone, find out what you want and maybe instead of applying for jobs they hand pick you (to some extent). I know currently some companies try to hand pick some of the best people to work for them, but what if they could see everyone looking for a job and compare them online and then approach them with an offer instead of them filling out an application. Maybe this is way too complex but it sounds like it is possible.
