I began working in eCommerce nearly two years ago. From the start, I was amazed at how delicate and intricate the processes were. As Project Manager, it was my job to use the tools available to meet deadlines, facilitate conversations, and achieve eCommerce success for both my company and my clients. The only catch: I was an English Major, with a background of working in media agencies and magazines. The metrics and technologies were new to me, especially where Project Management was concerned. I realized over time, however, that it’s not just about the technology.

Remember having a web page on GeoCities? GeoCities was an early web hosting service, started in 1994 and acquired by Yahoo in 1999, with which users could create their own custom websites. 

Those of a certain age will remember fondly the look and feel of those websites. This was the age of dial-up. Graphic files had to be extra small. This was before Flash and Animated CSS, and video was out of the question unless you wanted to download postage-stamp sized QuickTime files that quickly filled your hard drive. The only real way to show motion was through animated GIFs.

As this type of web art fades into history, Internet Archive has developed GifCities, a search engine containing over 20 years of GeoCities GIF art.

At GifCities you’ll find tons of flaming type, flashing construction banners and a plethora of spinning 3-D dollar signs.
