Yahoo! GeoCities: Get a web site with easy-to-use site building tools.
IMHO this is rather interesting news for domainers and webmasters. Geocities was one of the first and oldest free website hosts available. It still had huge amounts of ancient content some ranked high in SERPs. I am not sure how many of you had/have a Geocities account with content but certainly everyone here knows about the service.
How do you think this might effect the internet overall? Will it leave a hole in search engines? I am semi sad about all the content that's about to be deleted.

Shocking stuff.

On October 26, 2009, your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web, and you will no longer be able to access your GeoCities account and files. If you'd like to keep your web site, you'll need to move your site files to another web hosting provider.
Shocking stuff.
