GeoCities closes down today
Oct/09BC
The day has finally happened, GeoCities was shut down by Yahoo. Play that one last midi horn file for them.
Sadly it went down slightly unnoticed, many young web designers have once used this site to share with world what ever their hearts desired, it was the most significant virtual museum on the internet.
GeoCities allowed anyone to build a custom web page for free and reserved a small amount of virtual storage to keep pictures and documents.
It was perhaps the first mainstream example of an open, participatory and personal Internet.
Practically every facet of our culture was documented and thanks to search engines, easily accessible, now today all of those documents are disappeared. GeoCites stopped accepting new accounts at the beginning of this year. Existing users could continue to update their pages and save sites to a personal hard drive in advance of the impending closure. Yahoo is encouraging the relatively few remaining users to transition their accounts to the company’s $5-per-month Web hosting service.

News from the other side of the Atlantic.
A new mobile phone charger that will work with any handset has been approved by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
It is predicted that 51,000 tonnes of redundant chargers are generated each year. Currently most chargers are product or brand specific, so people tend to change them when they upgrade to a new phone. However, the new energy-efficient will last longer than normal chargers. The new universal mobile chargers are said to be implemented into Europe during the first half of 2010.
