No kidding, I remember how big Geocities was, mind you there wasn't much competition, but if they had the foresight to convert into a MySpace type format, there wouldn't be MySpace here today, hell it basically was already like that so it wasn't much of a jump.
It was cool having an "address" on the web, and the neat part was the specialized neighborhoods, alternative, gay, whatever. Was a rock solid idea, too bad to see it go to the generic crap fest as the web is now. I loved trolling through the "neighborhoods" looking at all the sites in some regions, you can't even begin to think about doing that today... and who would want to anyways.
