Top 10 dead websites VI


GeoCities: Before the Facebook pages, before the blogs, there was GeoCities. Today, if you are not in Japan, GeoCities is as good as dead.

Founded way back in 1994, GeoCities was brought over by Yahoo in 1999, and in tune with Yahoo's long history of discontinuing services, GeoCities shut shop on October 26, 2009. Though some websites attempted to mirror GeoCities huge archive of personal webpages, a rich history of the Internet could be lost for ever.
