Yahoo Retires Geocities Free Website Hosting Service

I remember the 90s really clearly because it was when my interest in HTML begun. Thanks to a friend of mine who was talking about creating a website of his own gave birth to my curiousity which grew into a hobby and now, a career. Thanks, Wei Wern. Let’s take a step back and remember Yahoo! Geocities when it was, where it was.

In 1996.

In 1999.

In 2000.

Now I noticed from 1999 onwards, Yahoo had actually did some optimization of the website. Then in 2000, information was more organized and the login panel was more prominent. Well, those were the good old times. In 2009, Yahoo has now decided to retire Geocities and is upselling their website packages at 50% off for current Geocities owners.

All I can say is, I’ll miss you Geocities. We had some really good and fun times. Thanks for being there when I bought my first RM50 book as a 13-year old and allow me experiment with HTML. Do you know anyone still using Geocities?
