For those who are born on year 2000 onwards and don't catch what on earth should I care about Geo-Cities, here is a recap.

Back then in 1990's , Internet was powered up by 56kbps modem dial-up ( that are really slow like snail... ) . In mid 1990's some techno-prenuer had this weird but wonderful ideas of establishing free personal pages for the everyday people who had no knowledge of programming skills . It enables anyone who had times and effort to create a webpages to upload to the geocities sites with only condition that you took their domain names.

In instant , boom ! The DIY site builder webpages craziness spread everywhere . . .

Animated gifs, irritating Midi songs loopback ,Java pop-out, unforgettable guestbook , flashing blinking text , eye-sore colour matching of background and text....

Even a secondary school kids like me at that time can load up a video of boardskating of 2Mb onto my Geocities pages dedicating to skateboard ( which took about 10 mins to download. :( )

It is our personal pages ala Facebook,MSN all rolled into one in that golden era as it helped transformed the Internet landscape.

The golden era has long passed and early in this year, Geocities unceremoniously pulled out from plug after serving for more than a decade . :(

So long, Geo-cities. We forgot that you existed...

Here is my webpages after transformed by Geo-Citizer. Double click it to enlarge....
