Twelve years ago, what everyone felt they needed was their own home page on the Internet. That was the thing to do, even if what to do with one once they had it no one really knew. They just laid out grammatically poor content in red fonts against a green background and decorated it with spinning Christmas trees. But GeoCities gave people what they wanted – a home page in minutes with no knowledge of web design or HTML. And those people made it the third most successful website on the Internet. Of course it was primitive; this was what taught the social networking and Web 2.0 giants of today their very first lessons in social networking. Yahoo was so impressed with the impression Geocities made on people, it rushed in and bought it out for more than three billion dollars. Yahoo was on to something: Geocities was a website that ran entirely on user-generated content, and it sold advertising to display on all sides of the content. It was the first stab the world had at user-generated Internet, popularly known today as Web 2.0. Suggestions are welcome
