One Terabyte of Kilobyte Age | Digging through the Geocities Torrent
A blog devoted to sifting through the gems in the Geocities torrent. This is digital archeology.
The Deleted City
This is quite beautiful. An interactive piece that allows you to dig through the ruins of Geocities like an archeologist.
Such wanton destruction! I’ll never forgive those twunts at Yahoo.
Fuckers.

Ugly and neglected fragments (Phil Gyford’s website)
Phil Gyford on why he will miss Geocities. "It’s only thanks to the efforts of people like the Internet Archive and Archive Team that we’ll have a record of what people, rather than companies, published in the past. As companies like Yahoo! switch off swathes of our online universe little fragments of our collective history disappear. They might be ugly and neglected fragments of our history but they’re still what got us where we are today."
