Oh Geocities. I miss my Geocities site. One of these days I’ll have to check my floppy disk archives to see if I have it tucked away like a hidden city.
My URLs were:
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Museum/6389/
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/studios/9365
My brother had one:
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/WorkShop/3651
I like how you would pick your neighborhood based on your interests. Erik and I choose SoHo, because that was the neighborhood for “Art and Writing.” oocities.org has a list that describes all the different neigbhorhoods. They also have a decent partial archive of Geocities pages. But alas, Erik’s and my pages are not archived there.
Here’s the list of neighborhoods:
- Area51 ::: Science fiction & fantasy
- Athens ::: Teaching, education, philosophy, reading, writing
- Augusta ::: Golf
- Baja ::: Off-road & adventure travel
- BourbonStreet ::: Jazz, New Orleans, Cajun food, Southern United States topics
- CapeCanaveral ::: Science, mathematics, aviation, technology, engineering,
- CapitolHill ::: Government and Politics
- CollegePark ::: University life
- Colosseum ::: Athletics & sports
- EnchantedForest ::: Topics of interest to children
- Hollywood ::: Films and actors
- MotorCity ::: Automobiles & racing
- NapaValley ::: Wine
- Nashville ::: Country music
- Petsburgh ::: Pets
- Pipeline ::: Extreme sports
- RainForest ::: Conservation
- ResearchTriangle ::: Research & Development, technology
- SiliconValley ::: Computers, programming, hardware & technology
- SoHo ::: Art and writing
- SunsetStrip ::: Music like blues, punk rock & rock n roll, grunge
- TimesSquare ::: Computer & video games
- TelevisionCity ::: Television
- Tokyo ::: Far East
- Vienna ::: Ballet, opera & classical music
- Yosemite ::: Outdoor sports/recreation, climbing, skiing, hiking, rafting
It’s also fun that another Geocities archive project, goecities.ws, asks the following:
Yes sir! Geocities has been dead for a while I’m afraid My site started out on Geocities (I’m sure you could find a waybakmachine screen grab of it, maybe)
Tom! What was your Geocities URL? I know you had tomsaaristo hosted by geocities. But did you ever have one of the neighborhood URLs?
