Over half of a decade ago, I created my first hosted web page on GeoCities. It was a horrible website, featured pages with images flying all around, and the Internet's all time favorites - the blinking and marquee tags. My site on GeoCities is long gone but the memory of it always stays. While GeoCities didn't get me into the whole IT thing, it definitely deserves credit for getting me into this whole web development business. Well, Yahoo! is to officially shut down the free hosting service today, ceasing the access to over an decade of memories.

RIP GeoCities, you will be remembered by millions of old timers.
