So long, Geocities… we will miss you…
Last April, I made a post in my other blog about the news that Geocities is closing down, a news that made me feel sad and somewhat nostalgic because my first website was made in Geocities.
Just today, I read that Yahoo! officially shuts down Geocities, so I guess it’s time to say… Goodbye Geocities…
The closure of the free-webhosting facility is all part of Yahoo! cost cutting strategies.
“We have enjoyed hosting websites created by Yahoo! users all over the world, and we’re proud of the community you’ve built,” the California-based Internet pioneer said in a message at the GeoCities website.
“However, we have decided to focus on helping our customers explore and build relationships online in other ways.”
(I wonder why though, I just tried accessing my old site, and it was still able to load. I am not sure though after making this post).

Maybe they want to give you some time to migrate your site? I remember Geocities. I think I even started a web site there, before I got web hosting elsewhere.
