There are a couple of informative sites I have bookmarked on Geocities so I will definitely need to make some backups. So FYI If you have a few bookmarked you should make them offline for backup purposes.

A great example is this website (http://news.insearchofchicas.org/forum/showthread.php?t=81007): Which translates Led Zeppelin songs into Spanish! I definitely need to get a copy on here for the future.


Yahoo announced that it will shut down GeoCities, one of the company’s longer-running units, later in 2009. Yahoo purchased the service, which allows users to create their own Web pages, for $3.6 billion in 1999. In the intervening decade, however, the rise of sites such as Facebook and Twitter presented a more user-friendly alternative for consumers than coding a personal home page, and GeoCities found itself eclipsed.

Yeah, Yahoo sure took a kick in the nuts on that one.

Then again, geocities helped me sell two houses...
