Why Is Yahoo Geocities Closing?

Oh i dont know that Yahoo geocities is being closed First they remove yahoo briefcase from there service now Yahoo Geocities. Yahoo is being in some financial problem so they might close this service.

I have heard of Geocities but have not done much with them at all. I am not sure why they are closing down either. I hope your husband can prosper some place else though. Good luck to him.

That's a bad news. I remember Geocities provided the free space long time ago. Perhaps I also applied one for myself. But later I preferred to spend money to set up my own homepage. Perhaps the bad economy has an effect on Yahoo. So it has to cut down the budget and cancel this service.

I love China

Wow, I didn't even realize it was closing. I have a Geocities website too. But I don't really care too much about mine, I haven't really kept it maintained lately since I was too busy with school.

I guess there are too many website services out there already and Yahoo doesn't see a benefit to themselves for having one.

I know that Yahoo is cutting a bunch of jobs so those who are in charge of maintaining Geocities might be part of the group that's getting ousted.

Not really sure why either, but when i got my new laptop a few months back I went to try and make a website and for some reason it don't work with Vista.. All it did was give me errors.. Could be a reason why I am not exactly sure.. But the service i do was great gave us nice webpages we could build.. maybe they will come up with something a bit better, who knows yahoo seems to come up with many other things...

they probably just want to move into something else.
i'm sure all the free sites take up quite a bit of server space for them.
i know a few people having to convert their sites elsewhere,it's damn inconvieniant for them.

I never heard of Geocities closing. I can still get on my site and it is the first one that I have used. So I did check and find out that it indeed is closing. I do have a blog and a couple of other sites, so I will have to change the information on to the other sites. It will be hard though because Geocities was a general and the others were specialized. The trouble is the time.

yahoo is stupid and trying to keep up with windows live.

I think I've heard about that awhile back but am not sure why they are closing. I guess it's like hometown with aol, they closed down. I didn't even know about that until I was looking for crochet patterns, they'd been closed for maybe a year before I even knew. Well I hope the transition is swift and easy. Maybe he should back it up somehow, start putting the codes in documents so as to be able to swiftly get the site up and running again. Sorry he's gotta do that though.
