GeoCities was known for it terrible home pages.  When I say terrible, I mean really bad.  But, before blogging and Flickr and Facebook this was the way you shared your information, your stories, your photos.  It took off for a bit but was pounced upon by other communities that did a better job.

Goodbye web 1.0 you will be missed but not forgotten.
