R.I.P. Geocities

The Nomad's very first web page was on Geocities. "The Nomad's Wanderings" was a regurgitation of the various Star Wars Episode 1 rumors that were out and about before the premiere. I checked, and no - it no longer exists (although I am sure an enterprising person could find it on the Wayback Machine). I loved that little site, even though I was pretty much the only person who ever read it. So it was with sadness that I read today that Yahoo is going to permanently shut down Geocities. Then again, I have not had a reason to visit a Geocities page in years, so it was not a shock.

Rest in peace, Geocities. You'll be missed.

  1. Nomad forgot to mention that Geocities was also the home to Quizwedge, Ward and my first websites as well. It's fair to say that a good number of web careers were started by tinkering late at night with HTML for a Geocities page.

    RIP Geocities.

  2. Sean is quite right. I remember learning a lot about html messing with that site. Good times, and I'm sad to hear it's closing.
