DO YOU YAHOO !?!

by mcmaster Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 12 '02
Yahoo is one of the big boys on the (WWW) World Wide Web. They have some 185 million users each month. Therefore they get lots of other companies advertising on there sites and search engines. That in my opinion is the big downfall with anything...

Yahoo! Geocities

by kiko_cat , Jun 08 '02
This service use to be great. I started with them in June 1997 because I really needed something to do to occupy my boredom and figured this was a great way to do it. Okay, in 1997 you got 2 MB's of space but back then that was enough. Also, in 1997...

You'll go Yahoo for GeoCities

by RainGdss , May 16 '00
Pros: easy to use, fast and quick loading, it's free, 15MB of space, a small banner
Cons: Only 15MB of space, a small banner
Since I love building web page so much, you can guess I have tried my share of free web hosts. Yahoo! GeoCities, in my eyes, is in the top three that I would use. Once you sign up for Yahoo! GeoCities you get all the benefits that comes...

Yahoo for Geocities? I don't think so.

by navinthebean , Dec 15 '00
Pros: FTP/browser upload; Short URL.
Cons: You cannot install your own CGI scripts; Advertisements make the browser crash.
About four years ago I built my first webpage and proudly uploaded it at this seemingly wonderful place called Geocities. I loved being part of a community and I liked the fact that I was a GeoCitizen (don’t ask me why). Over the time, I got frustrated...

So you want another homepage, eh?

by sohailg , Jul 20 '00
Pros: FREE, 15 MB of space, easy to use, many add-ons and ways to make a website
Cons: technical support, banner, little amount of space

Geocities.com - Still Standing Strong

by Dbbum Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 24 '02
After trying a few free websites, I found Geocities and have been there for well over 5 years. Amazingly enough after being there for 5 years, I wouldn't trade it in for any other website. Angelfire, Zoom, AOL, CBJ don't even compare to what Geocities...

Get Your Own Dot-Com

by lovdbyGod7 , Mar 28 '00
Pros: See Opinion
Cons: See Opinion
Everyone out there knows that it’s never easy to pick out just the right Christmas present, especially on a limited budget. My parents I know well enough to pick something out—anything golf for my dad and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” for my mom (she...

Make your mark on the WWW

by kiko , Jan 22 '00
Pros: Easy to use, Great support and help, Variety, Many Communities
Cons: lengthy URL, geared for the individual user
If you want to build a website look no further than Geocities! Owned by Yahoo!, Geocities is an easy way to create a website for the amateur. Granted your url may look very funky and long, but that is a tradeoff that must be made for creating your own...

To Yahoo! Or not to Yahoo!

by Heathyre , Jul 18 '00
Pros: vast amounts of information, and free services.
Cons: crowded, spam and advertisements every where
That is the question you will have to make your own decision on, but I will give you a peek into what I think about Yahoo.

What is a “Yahoo!”? Well, Yahoo is a lot of things now. Yahoo started off being a basic “have-everything” web...

Look at me! I'm on the Internet...no, I swear I made this...

by pelirojo18 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 01 '01
Pros: easy for non-programmers, free, decent amount of space
Cons: sometimes frustrating "services" and meta-tag producer flaws
I have just recently posted an almost-finished site using a combination of Yahoo! Geocities as well as Microsoft Front Page. Overall, I am happy with the outcome, especially because of my limited knowledge of HTML, or any other program language for that...

Yahoo!Geocities Fraud?

by bibliofiend , May 12 '02
UPDATE: In early September 2002, I finally received my payment--issued in mid-August, some six months after they were supposed to have been sent out--from Yahoo!Geocities. I have therefore boosted their rating to 2 stars, but still will leave the...

Just go to my website and see it there

by roadiem Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 25 '00
Pros: Free enough room to keep you going for a while
Cons: Slow it certain parts of the week, pop-up ad's are annoying.
I just got done reading a bunch of the over 100 or so opinions on Yahoo Geocities and figured I'd throw my two cents in the mix. I have had a home on Geocities for maybe a year or so now, and I love it more than I hate it. There seems to be a lot...
