The service, originally created by David Bohnett and John Rezner as Beverly Hills Internet, was modeled on the concept of virtual ‘cities’. For instance, Technology was placed in the “Silicon Valley” city.
GeoCities will be shut down October 26th, 2009 and will no longer offer web hosting services.
RIP, GeoCities – it’s been a good run!
