Thank God For Web 2.0: We Pay Tribute To Geocities
The webcomic XKCD is paying tribute to Geocities today with its, er, “old-school” (crappy Geocities-esque) homepage. For those who may not have joined the once cutting-edge service (A web-based WYSIWYG editor! In 1995!), you may not know that today is the day that owner Yahoo! shuts the site down for good.
XKCD’s parody/tribute is pretty spot/on, with webrings, BLINK tags, “Cool Site Award” badges and a gratuitous use of Comic Sans. This, people, is what the personal Internet looked like 15 years ago.
