Your analysis is dead-on. GeoCities was the Internet's old septic tank, and MySpace has replaced it.

Sometimes I do find a GeoCities page that is useful and informative, even it's loaded with animated GIFs and last updated 10 years ago.

By comparison, I've never found *anything* remotely useful on Myspace.

Sometimes I find music I like on MySpace.

geocites at one time was happening...yahoo let it wither and die a cruel death...geocities should have become myspace/wordpress and if it was independent it may have beceome much more valuable company

I suppose my eyeballs are grateful too that GeoCities is bringing the era of gaudy animated GIFs (except those on Myspace) to an end.

What's kind of sad though about the situation is that there really is a lot of information that devoted and passionate people put on GeoCities pages that'll be lost now. In most of the comments and threads about this I find people like Bruno who refer to reference pages that just have never made the leap to another webhost -- probably because the vast majority today are blog-centric which isn't usually the best format for that kind of site.

I can only concur with the Weebly & Yola execs about the advantages of the freemium model, charging for additional services and domain names. That's what Jimdo's been doing since we launched two years ago.

For the few GeoCities users who may happen across this post, Jimdo's working on a rescue mission to help you migrate your sites and a 10% discount if you decide to buy our Pro package. Details here: http://jimdo.com/geocities

Didn't synthasite replace their name with yola. You have them listed as separate in your chart.

Anthony Ha · 8 months ago

Yes, I noted that in the article. the chart lists them separate because that's how comScore tracked them.

They should have adapted the brand with the times... there is a $100+ million plus acquisition down the tubes.
