Geo cities is a company that was born with the aim of providing a free space on the web to all users. At first the idea was that each of the members of the page was part of a city, and creates a large planet with cities that were represented by users, in with each city was a theme space. But now the cities are a decorative item, because now the domain is limited to the name of the user. Other interesting thing was his geocities search engine, allowing find the community sites of all those who made them, that tool has been improved today.
Yahoo! bought the site in 2000, operation that was not seen very well by the traditional users, who saw affected their privacy, because the terms that the company was established from that moment said that the entire contents of the pages (including images, sounds and pictures) were propriety of the new company (Yahoo!).
While still does not have great popularity, Yahoo! incorporated in the geocities free web hosting service, seeking to convene more users.
