Nasdaq Listed, Acquired by Yahoo 4 months after listing
Started in 1994, Geocities was the world’s first and most successful user-generated website hosting service. It allowed users to create and publish websites for free and to browse user-created websites by their theme or interest. It listed on NASDAQ in August 1998 and was the third most visited website in the world before being acquired by Yahoo in January 1999. I was an early moderator and investor of Geocities before its IPO.
