RIP GeoCities

We’ll miss you... sort of. 

The flashing banner ads, questionable color schemes and omnipresent “Under Construction” signs of GeoCities are no more.

The personal Web-hosting site, launched in 1995 and owned by Yahoo Inc. since 1999, was to be shut down by Tuesday.

It’s a move that will scrub from the Web a significant, albeit dated, piece of Internet history and the pages where millions first tried their hands at coding and designing.

  1. Yahoo has closed down Geocities. This is another web history that everyone should put on his or her bookmarks. For sure many who has used Geocities will miss it, and I think I am one of them. Bye Geocities, wonder what is next with Yahoo…
