MARK YOUR CALENDAR: GeoCities Closes (win a set of Buckyballs)
WHERE: Today, October 26th
WHERE: GeoCities, “a place for you to express yourself”
WHAT: The end of an era. Where were you the day the flames went away and reflections stopped reflecting. In truth, the pages still exist (at least until the end of the day) you just can’t add a new one. That said, anyone want a free set of Buckyballs? Post the best, worst, most interesting or horrific GeoCities page you can still find below. Best one at midnight tonight, wins a free set of Buckyballs. BONUS: Jake told me he’d made a page long long ago. Clearly if anyone finds that it’s an insta-win. Fun, right?
LINK: GeoCities.

Nothing could be more GeoCities than pages like “the complete guide to hamsters” http://www.geocities.com/pets_hamsters/

I was just trying to click through a whole roll of them though, and more are gone. My fear is that even the one I just put up won’t be here come nightfall. Farewell GeoCities, it was good (in a bad way) while it lasted.

despite all of the wonderful things about this website (among them a poetry vault, a section devoted to her hair, and a nice street fighter-esqe photo on the deck in the winter) my favorite is the title of the page.
