One of the first major websites allowing masses with very limited computer knowledge to publish contect on the web is closing.
Some of the intriguing aspects about geocities was many users desire to have their page in proximity to certain other pages in the same fashion as one chooses a neighborhood. While it was one of the most popular sites 10 yrs ago, it's closure shows how quickly internet fads can come and go, especially when tied to the extremely high pace technology market.
With the announcement of the closure, many people have assigned crawlers to save the site's information for historical purposes.
