Yahoo GeoCities closes on Oct. 26

GeoCities, once the Internet's third most visited domain, will be shutting down on Oct. 26, taking with it thousands of user home pages and decades of data. All that information will be history.... Fortunately, some historians are making sure it's not lost to the annals of time.

Founded in 1994 as Beverly Hills Internet, what is now Yahoo GeoCities was one of the first services to offer an easy way for early Internet surfers to publish their own Web pages. Whereas most hosting options of the 1990s were expensive, thus limiting their use to more entrepreneurial pursuits, GeoCities' free hosting space became the home for thousands of sites built around thematically oriented "neighborhoods": conservation, fashion, military, sports, finance, travel, and more.

Info on the Closing

On October 26, 2009, your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web, and you will no longer be able to access your GeoCities account and files. If you'd like to keep your web site, you'll need to move your site files to another web hosting provider.

Not true. The new CEO is closing a lot. They offered too much and could not focus on all their services. They'd rather do a few things very good rather then a lot pretty good.
 
long long time ago geocities my first file storage site even though its small storage memory ,its been great for my wapsite .thanks for reminding me them ;)

they offered good services so far .. maybe they were in loss with it...
 
Yeah started my first warez site there sometime in 2000 it looked absolutely horrible, its a shame i cant remember the name... But yeah that was probably horrible too lol.
 
I think everybody started their first site on geocities (myself included).

Actually, it was my second site. My first one was on tripod.com (which is still around!)
 
Not sure when but its probably lycos tripod or geocities where I built my first site... can't even remember the name... or the topic of the site lol
