Geocities
GeoCities
provides a free Personal Home Page in one of
37 themed communities to anyone with access to the Web.
They also offer a free GeoCities Email account to
everyone that signs up for a free home page. Why do they do this?
Their philosophy is that locations on the Internet become
easier to relate to when they are rich with content and
closely identified with an actual idea or location. They have
more than 700,000 individuals sharing their thoughts and
passions with the world, and creating the most diverse
and unique content on the Web.
I chose Wellesley because it's theme is women and women's
issues.
As more women discover the Web, it is important to have a
place to gather to share ideas, concerns, and just our
lives in general. I have "met" some very
interesting folks on the Web, and they have been very
helpful and friendly. They're always willing to share
funny stories, give advice, and just lend an ear. I think
as our world becomes more automated and depersonalized,
the web gives us a quick and easy way to communicate with
others and to stay in touch. The themed communities here
at Geocities are a great tool for this.
I became a
community leader because so many people helped me when I
first started building my homepage, I wanted to try and
give someting back. I am by no means an expert, but I
know a few things! No question is too small or too basic.
If we don't ask questions, how do we learn? If you have a
question about your home page or about GeoCities in
general, email me or go to my help form .
