In the Past it was only a Prophecy…but in the Future, the Past has Occurred!

I remember GeoCities!

Posted by jamba on October 27, 2009

Yahoo Geocities is closing down.  I remember years ago, when my family first got a computer (around 1997 or ’98…maybe  ’96, I’m not entirely sure) I stumbled across how to create websites and decided to make my own.   Naturally, I used Geocities.  I was new to the internet, and it was all an amazing world…all at 56kbit/s.

Sure, they almost always look horrible, especially if you use their editor tools.  But I was a noob, and I did learn pretty quickly after that.  So, Geocities does have a special place in my heart–although, I haven’t thought anything about that service in several years.

Memories!

man, I am getting old, aren’t I?
