One brave man went even further. He has archived most of the old Geocities at </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://reocities.com/newhome/" eudora="autourl">http://reocities.com/newhome/</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">. The Internet Archive also has many of the sites and assisted in the project.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> Please note the clever new name. You can correct all your broken Geocities links by simply changing the "G" in the URL to "r". Firefox users can install a javascript program from reocities that will do this automagically. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> Jacques Mattheij's journal of his huge accomplishment is here: </span><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://reocities.com/newhome/makingof.html" eudora="autourl">http://reocities.com/newhome/makingof.html</a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> In his petition to Yahoo, Jacques says, "It [Geocities] was a monument that stood as testimony to the birth of the World Wide Web, something that will surely occupy the scholars of the future. To Yahoo! it may have simply been a bunch of bits on some hard disks. But to humanity it was much more than that." </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> "In the name of </span><b style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">commerce</b><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> culture was destroyed." </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> For us they also destroyed thousands of genealogies and family histories. Now, most of it is safe.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> Thank you Jacques! Thank you very much!<br /><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3859470211246225892-4205312360303800655?l=flgenwebnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rel@ively, Patricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03130387561657592477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859470211246225892.post-31477801302907291112010-06-13T03:06:00.004-04:002011-02-27T17:25:11.947-05:00<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://sites.google.com/a/flgenweb.net/official/">USGenWeb FLGenWeb Project</a> has a new logo and our web site has a new look</span>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3859470211246225892-3147780130290729111?l=flgenwebnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rel@ively, Patricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03130387561657592477noreply@blogger.com
