Also says Yahoo paid $3.57bn for Geocities at the height of the dot com boom. Ouch!

I thought WebShots and few others were a way bigger 'ouch'.

Geocitis
My friend at university recommended Tripod to me, but for some reason I had one of my first website on Geocities. Just the name brings up lots of memories about making blunders in learning and staying up all night correcting mistakes and competing with friends. Its an old relic with tons of info, and don't think it should really be shut down.

We 'try' to protect antiques in physical world - hopefully this notion of protection will also extend to online work. Or is web only used for making money by most people?
