Do I know anyone who used geocities when it was running? Or who uses neocities now? Or both? 😯🤯
Sorry for the similar questions to everyone, I'll add them here:
On geocities:
- Did you find much community on there?
- How did you find learning web stuff/using the site to upload stuff?
- Was it your first web dev experience?
On neocities: What drew you to it? Do you have much community on it?
I have loads of questions because I'm researching for blogs and videos about what we can learn and what we shouldn't repeat from the early web.
I have a lot of questions around:
- the hosting landscape; was it mostly uni or geocities?
- anyone who made games early; i know only a little about the experience of making flash games
- how the hell any of you found anything before google? Someone said there were ads and i refuse to believe you were solely typing in urls from bits of paper?
@oluOnline how you found people: weblistings, link lists, people just generally did lots of hyperlinking
girlfriend says also stumbleupon
