Geocities Closes
by Mike on Oct.26, 2009, under Findings, General
Ever heard of Geocities? Most web savvy people have. Well it’s parent company, Yahoo have decided to pull the plug on Geocities and tomorrow (26th October) Geocities will be gone forever and all web sites currently hosted on there will be deleted.
In the late 90’s and early 00’s Geocities was the first (and only for some) port-of-call for anyone looking to set up a web site in the cheapest and easiest way. It’s What You See is What You Get (WYSiWYG) designer tools was at the forefront of it’s technology at the time and made making web sites easy.
Yahoo itself will be deleting all of the content hosted on Geocities so, if like me, you created your first web presence on there then I suggest you try and remember your log in details and go grab the files. A few companies have been downloading copies of all files from Geocities for some time now, including Archive Team.
Onwards and upwards.
