Remember your college days? When you used to create your own webpages using Yahoo GeoCities free web site builder tool, I used to make a lot of website using this service from Yahoo, like for my college anniversary celebrations, or some new event etc.. It was so simple to use and manage, but you know what? Yahoo is about to close the GeoCities service down.

David Bohnett and Jon Rezner were the two guys who founded GeoCities in 1994/1995. It was very simple to use like users selecting a city in which they want to place the content, for example, if you had a technical page based on Silicon Valley, and some funny pages placed in Hollywood. As per the research GeoCities was the fifth most popular site on the Web in June 1997, and had signed up its milionth user in Oct 1997, Bad news, growing costs to host all those pages made Yahoo no other option that shutting down the GeoCities services.
