R.I.P. Geocities

Posted on 08:49 by Unknown

In my post "Wait - GeoCities Still Exists?" I mentioned that on October 26 Geocities was going away. Well, that sad day is upon us. And if you didn't follow those Geocities links I posted, you are SOL now. However, more tributes have popped up on the web in honor of this historic (hysterical?) day.

  • XKCD themed their site today.
  • The irascible Bruce Lawson has created aGeocities template for CSS Zen Garden.
  • GeoCities tribute with lots of helpful comments at Reddit
  • Mashable links to group trying to download and archive all of Geocities.
