Vinny, you have very smartly and effectively brought out the reasons leading to the closing down of Geocites – infact you have touched the right nerve and diagonised the disease ailing Geocities. I’ve checked Yola and I must say that its really great. I’m definitely going to start my next niche site at Yola, you’ll have really great features available at the most decent prices, whats more helpful then getting free hosting. I’ve also noted that you’ll have removed all factors that plagued geocities. I think I’m amazed is to think that why did Yahoo close Geocities when they could have shifted to your model.

I didn’t even know that Geocities still existed. I remember it being around many years ago, way back when Yahoo dominated the Search Engine Wars. Not even sure why they held on to it for so long…

Maybe they realize that the should be making money than giving free service like.

I’m surprised it took this long. Also, SYNTHASITE is a bad bet. The net is moving towards SOCIAL NETWORKED user content. We’re past the user content phase. It’s all about virally spreading that content. Synthasite’s model is stationary.

Well I moved my Geocities site to a new location. http://ithascome.bravehost.com It was/is my first and only site. I did not want to let all that work go down the tubes. My site is not all that fancy but it tells the story. I think those old fashion sites need to stay aroundâ€¦ it reminds us of the Internet roots.

it is quite amazing how these 5 billion dollars disappeared in smoke so fast. On the other hand goecities had completely disappear (as well) from the recent web2.0 landscape.

I think that there was a solid revenue stream for them with the ads on the websites. But there must be something under all this.

Really enjoy reading your posts they always seem to make so much sense. You absolutely right in this day and age the consumer wants a real website that they can control and monetize themselves. Really look forward to seeing your premium templates. Easy, clean & simpleâ€¦always works! I believe the market is ready, willing & able to pay when they are able to see the value.
