Yahoo Takes $4 billion Hit As It Closes Geocities

Our Comments

Geocities will be fondly remembered by many of us, not least because a significant number of geeks used its platform to build their first websites ever. The likes of Xoom, Fortunecity, Tripod or Angelfire helped quite a few of us at the very beginning. Like Google though, Yahoo is pruning non productive areas and this culling is likely to continue soon. Could Yahoogroups be the next one out?
