GeoCities back from brink

Wired News reports that GeoCities (now under the somewhat uncertain control of Yahoo’s lawyers) has backed down from it’s oppressive terms of service requirements. While this is not directly an on-topic story for us, many of the Web sites that cover our favorite topics are based on GeoCities and this news means there’s less of a chance that they’ll jump ship. Fascinating case. Let’s hope we all learn something from it.
