Yahoo closes the doors on GeoCities today. Remember way back in the day when web hosting and domains were super expensive? People that wanted to get a website/online store/web blog online could go to ad supported services like GeoCities to launch a website basically for free to get their feet wet in online business.

It’s good to see mainstream media mentioning sites like Sedo to end users.
