VIRTUAL SITES - I'M HERE... AM I?
GeoCities
GeoCities treats the Web like real estate and gives away plots of land to any homesteader who wants one. More than 750,000 people have taken advantage of the service, setting up a home page and e-mail account in one of 38 themed communities like Soho (for urban bohemian attitude), Yosemite (for the great outdoors), and Vienna (for high culture). The coolest part? Because the virtual addresses are arranged in numbered blocks, you can actually look around, pick your neighbors, and move in next door if
the address is available. GeoCities is one of the Web's most remarkable-and remarkably successful-Web communities.

Tripod
Tripod is the preeminent virtual community of college students and recent college graduates trying to make their way in the world. It has more than 300,000 registered members, each of whom can create a home page, get e-mail, and construct a resumé by using easy-to-follow forms. Tripod is like training wheels for real life. Chats are always available, and every day the site has articles about travel, politics, money, technology, and more. Extra home-page space is available for extra cost, but most of what Tripod offers comes for free. Quite a bargain for young adults who probably don't have any money anyway.
