Just got through reading a news item proclaiming the death of one of the original outlets for personal web expression…GeoCities.
For those of you who are not familiar with it, it was an advertisement sponsored free webpage for any user. It was one of the first places I set up a website. Of course, the ads were completely annoying and it lead me to look for other alternatives like Angelfire. But not much luck there either.
I can’t say I’ll miss these free services (especially since novices are now building pages with MySpace and Facebook) but it does feel like just another part of my past being tossed to the wind…along with my VCR, Sega Genesis, and Phone Modem.
If you own a GeoCities site, get ready to move it. You will be given time, but don’t dally. Yahoo! is carving up their services faster than a chef with the Ginsu Knife.
