WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK HYPE JOB THEY ARE DUMPING ON NAIVE "INVESTORS" (ie- GAMBLER / SPECULATORS)!!!!
<<GeoCities(GCTY) is the only one of the top 10 most heavily-trafficked Web sites
that isn't part of a public company. To date, the company has had trouble
squeezing significant revenue out of its 1.9 million members, who create
personal home pages within theme "neighborhoods" on GeoCities.

For the first quarter of the year, the company generated revenue of $2.2
million, or about $1.15 per subscriber. Nearly all of that comes from
advertising. America Online (AOL), by contrast, generated about $58 per
subscriber in revenue for the first quarter, while The Wall Street Journal
sold $623 worth of ads per subscriber last year.
Analysts also worry that GeoCities' potential member base may be limited
since the process of building and maintaining a Web site requires significant
time. "There is some concern that people might lose interest in their site and
let it go," said Fleming. >>
