Through all the "Hoopla" it's still the best!

by kenopoly , Jan 26 '00
Pros: Ease of use, small popup option, one sign in for mail, webspace, and messenger. etc...
Cons: Would like to see the return of the Community Leaders!
OK! I know there are a lot of Geo-bashers out there who are gonna say that I am just sucking up. Well, sorry to disappoint you but I am just stating facts.

Fact: Yahoo!-GeoCities has one of the best free home page programs around, if not the...

GeoCities Plus--The ole bait and switch!!

by jkhudson , Jul 07 '00
Pros: none
Cons: the extra benefits that you're paying for aren't benefits at all
This will go down as one of the most irritating learning experiences in my life. I had to move my website in a hurry because my friend who was hosting it was selling his servers with his business. I picked GeoCities Plus because it was quick, offered me...

Great place to own your first home.....page

by katerinab , Jan 14 '00
Pros: Very user friendly, downtime at a minimum
Cons: Allows you to choose your neighboorhood but doesn't really let you personalize your URL
It's the "in" thing nowadays to be on the web and have your own homepage up for all the world to see. It's great to be able to give a friend a website address to be able to share pictures rather than clog up the recipient's account by sending...

by Brandie6947 , Jan 26 '00
Pros: N/A
Cons: N/A
I built my first page with Geocites and maintained it regularly for over a year. I then found that they had merged with Yahoo. That is where the trouble began.

I originaly built my web page with with the Geobuilder provided by Geocities....

Could be Better

by mcommini , Feb 08 '00
Pros: Modeled after GeoCities' orginal designs
Cons: It's just not "home" anymore
When Yahoo! took over the GeoCities community about a year ago, a lot changed. As a community leader at GeoCities for six months, I saw a network of dedicated volunteers who were enjoying their online experience. The system had a welcoming feel to...

1728 Heartland My little home

by tommiles , Dec 26 '99
Pros: none at this time
Cons: slow loading
I can remember when I first stumbled across Geocities and thought how cool. I know some people that do not have homepages with their ISP or just do not know how to do homepages and live to far away from me for me to help them so I hooked them up with...

You need to use Yahoo! Geocities.

by starchaser , Apr 27 '00
Pros: Easy to use.
Cons: pop up ads
So you want your own space on the web? You need to use Yahoo! Geocities. I have had a web site with them for three years. Yahoo! Geocities has just what you need.

A Good Place to Build

by vixem , Jan 06 '00
Pros: easy to use, dependable, free, frequent changes
Cons: pop-up ads, lack of support, frequent changes
People who say you can't breathe life into a dead horse weren't around to see the recent merger between Yahoo! and Geocities. Almost overnight Geocities went from a internet community that few trusted and was known for its problems to a company that...

Yahoo!.. no, more like Yea-right.

by EtyrnalDream , Jul 07 '00
Pros: Free webspace.
Cons: The little "perks" that can tick you off.
I had a homepage there but Tripod was what I used the most. When Yahoo assimilated (good term, huh?) Geocities, Many members had lost their membername. You couldn't keep what you had at Geocities because it was already taken at yahoo. So if you were a...

Yahoo! Geocities: Simply the Best and Easiest Free Webpage Hosting

by Greg2000 , Jan 17 '00
Pros: free service, requires no html skill, pro looking pages

Do you want fun, or helpful???

by princessbeth , Jun 17 '00
Pros: You can be very creative while building your pages!!!
Cons: The webtools are good, but Freeserves.com offers much more!!!!
If you want an accurate opinion about setting up a webpage, I must say that I used to love Geocities and found it fun and easy to use!!! Yet, fun is not everything that I am looking for when I make my website!! I just set up a small business and found...

Love it! Just need more space!

by kzdad , Jan 31 '00
Pros: The ads minimize after a so long, they load up fast, rarely ever any downtime
Cons: you need more space!
Either geocities is small or I just need a lot of room! Which is which, I don't know! Khadijah's World (My daughter's webpages) start out at Geocities and then branch out. I have two accounts on Geocities and another on angelfire in which I store all...

Not for me, but hey! it's free!!

by merey , Dec 27 '00
Pros: free
Cons: not as easy as some sites
I don't exactly remember when the idea of creating a homepage came to me, but when it did I signed up for the first free service I found online. At the time it happened to be geocities. I clicked the link to get there and signed up immediately. It took a...

Waste of an effort

by yencha , Jan 12 '00
Pros: Cheap or free listings
Cons: no one sees your listing
I was tired of trying to sell on EBay with so much competition for the same bids on 300 items just like the one I just got in todays shipment...So, I decided to try Yahoo Auctions.., I spent an hour and a half listing 30 items before Christmas... Good...
