Bronte Media

First off, apologies for the lag in posting due to the holiday festivities. Stumbling through Techcrunch’s roundup of the largest ’social media’ properties, I spotted Geocities still chugging along with 69m uniques a month and the sixth largest on the list. If there ever was a finer example of why traffic numbers shouldn’t excite you, Geocities is it. I am sure it brings a smile to folks like Fred Wilson who made a fortune for himself and limited partners when it sold to Yahoo for nearly $5bn in 1999.
