The End of Geocities
Where were you in 90s decade?

Have you got involved to the internet since then? If it yes, i think Geocities was a something that could be in your site-to-look list like Facebook or Twitter in nowadays.
Geocities gave you online space to put your pictures, document and even your web pages. Together with Angelfire and Tripod, Geocities was one of the biggest ‘online community’ in their era until in 1999, when “DotCom booming” was started and Yahoo bought Geocities for $ 3.6 billion to solidify position as frontrunner in the net.

As we know from this link, after ten years, when Facebook and Twitter are leading in ‘online community’ (which is now is called as “Web 2.0″), Yahoo decided to close Geocities start on October 26, 2009. I think it’s not really surprised news since who does really care with Geocities? People who was geeky on it, i think has moved to their personal hosting just to make their website online or just enjoy their time and being socialized with their friends on social medias such as Twitter, facebook and etc.
The point of closing of Geocities is that there is an era for everything even on the internet. It’s very cliche, isnt it?

But unfortunately that’s true! There’s always a starting point, and there would be a time to finish, to close. Start from this thing, i think you will agree with me, even Facebook or Twitter, will have finished, it’s only a matter of time. Be prepared person for every possibility that could happen in the future and be ready to accept for every new good things in technology and forget the past because there is nothing that will have no end!
