So long GeoCities
No lap dancers for the GeoCities guys.
Blog Predecessor GeoCities Closes DownNow, 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.
