Geocities and Xoom were all the metaverse we needed back in our day.

You know what? the internet was better when it topped out at 56k for mortals.

Amen to GeoCities. They had a concept of addresses within neighborhoods. My friends and I all made our own pages, experimenting with web tech.

And remember webrings and Internet Link Exchange?

I'd also say that MySpace and Tumblr carried that vision forward.

It's ironic that Facebook won, with its bland conformity, and now they think they're going to bring us the metaverse.
