Stefan Bohacek<p>"The key to [Beverly Hills Internet]'s initial growth over 1995 was helping people who had no technical knowledge of HTML to build a web page on the internet.

Richard MacManus<p>A look back at GeoCities in 1995 (30 years ago!), including a couple of rare screenshots of the GeoCities website from 1995 — when it was still known as Beverly Hills Internet. <a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/geocities-1995/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cybercultural.com/p/geocities-</span><span class="invisible">1995/</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/InternetHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GeoCities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GeoCities</span></a> (special thanks to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://olia.geocities.institute/@GIFmodel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>GIFmodel</span></a></span> for the knowledge and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://digipres.club/@andrewjbtw" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>andrewjbtw</span></a></span> for the 1995 BHI images)</p>
Richard MacManus<p>I spent far too much time today searching for 1995 screenshots of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Geocities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geocities</span></a>…there are hardly any! The few I did find were via <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://olia.geocities.institute/@GIFmodel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>GIFmodel</span></a></span> and a couple of other archive sites (e.g. <a href="https://geocities.restorativland.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">geocities.restorativland.org/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>). ‘95 was before Geocities really broke out, over 96-97, but still… quite sad there are seemingly very very few screenshots of early Geocities (when it was still “Beverly Hills Internet”). But do let me know if you can source any for me — it’s for next Cybercultural post.</p>
