So long GeoCities

No lap dancers for the GeoCities guys.

Blog Predecessor GeoCities Closes Down

Now, 14 years after it was founded and 10 years after a purchase by Yahoo, the service has been shut down.

The former Web site for GeoCities advertises Yahoo's other Web-hosting services, a decade after it was bought for more than $3.5 billion in stock, according to the Wikipedia entry on the service. [...]

The Wikipedia entry says that in 1997, Geocities was the fifth most popular site on the Internet.

Randall Munroe is marking this event appropriately at xkcd.
