GeoCities is Finally Closed October 28, 2009
Yahoo’s GeoCities has been providing millions of users with free web hosting service for more than 10 years. But Yahoo finally decided to, and did, shut down this service, which is no longer available.
Old GeoCities users who benefited from the free service can upgrade to a paid hosting service to keep their sites/files up.
Yahoo has canceled many services in the past few years, and their alleged reason for these terminations was to provide their users with better services and experiences. But, the real reason for this is to simply save/make more money.
Yahoo has also recently reached a deal with Microsoft to use the latter’s search engine, Bing.com, to power Yahoo’s search service.
It looks like Yahoo is phasing out free and innovative services in favor of other services that require less and earn more.
I personally believe that Yahoo is so money-faced that it could eventually ruin the company.
