I'm old enough to remember the rise (and fall) of GeoCities in the early days of the internet. For those who didn't share the experience, GeoCities was a free web hosting platform where you could build your own site within a "neighborhood," which many view as an early example of social media.
GeoCities closed down in 2009, but just a few years later came Neocities as a revival of the old format. Today, it hosts nearly 1.5 million websites created by users. It's a portal into an age of the internet that's certainly nostalgic for a lot of us, but its popularity has been hindered of late by Microsoft's Bing search engine.
