Now closing: GeoCities, a relic of Web's early days, by Stephen Shankland, Webwar (Apr 23)
Times change - goodbye old personal web site at GeoCities and hello blogs, Facebook, MySpace and all things web 2.0. People don't create web sites thru GeoCities anymore - so Yahoo is closing it. This article gives us a glimpse back to 1999 when Yahoo bought the hot GeoCities.
"GeoCities rose to power during an era when publishing on the Internet meant setting up your own Web site. GeoCities simplified the process by helping people sidestep the complications of registering a domain and learning how to program HTML, the language that describes Web pages."
