"Geocities, Yahoos original hosting service and the engine that drove the enormous proliferation in personal websites 
in the early to mid nineties,
closes today. The websites will be deleted and the data will not be recoverable.

With a Geocities or Angelfire (who still offer all of 20Mb of free hosting, by the way) account pictures of cats, 
children,
craft projects or favourite bands could be published by individuals well before blogs or photo sharing sites were 
thought of."
