Geocities. Who remembers it? The pioneer of the ‘second’ internet age, in my opinion. It allowed for so much more to happen. It’s sad to think that Yahoo has dropped the service completely (unless of course, you intend to pay $4.99 a month for ‘Yahoo Web Hosting’, which I can’t see this reader doing, ever.)
It’s a shame. Geocities was there from the start. It symbolised something important, great, and fun, and while painfully difficult to use it was still good. Later replaced by Piczo; it lost popularity fast and is now cancelled. It was, in a sense, some of the first Web 2.0 around.
RIP; Geocities. Just like we once knew ya.
