"Geocities, Yahoo's original hosting service and the engine that drove
the enormous proliferation in personal websites in the early to mid
nineties,
closes today. The websites will be deleted and the data will not be
recoverable.

With a Geocities or Angelfire (who still offer all of 20Mb of free
hosting, by the way) account pictures of cats, children,
craft projects or favourite bands could be published by individuals well
before blogs or photo sharing sites were thought of."
