GeoCities was a web hosting service that was founded in 1994 and was one of the first social networking websites. It was based on the idea of creating a virtual “city” where users could create their own web pages and “live” in a specific neighborhood that reflected their interests. The neighborhoods were organized into different themes such as music, sports, and hobbies. It was a popular platform for personal web pages and small businesses to showcase their products and services. GeoCities was acquired by Yahoo! in 1999 and was later closed on October 26, 2009. Many of the websites hosted by GeoCities are no longer available, but some of the content has been preserved by the Internet Archive?s Wayback Machine.
