p I am tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other in <b>boring, spied-on gated communities</b>, and are given generic templates which define what people are supposed to know about eachother. It's time we took back our personalities from these stale, lifeless, monetized, monitored entities and let our creativity flourish again.
p That's where NeoCities comes in. I want to provide a canvas for people to make any web site they want. Whether it be a web site about something they're good at, something they love, something they hate, or their own custom "Profile" where they can introduce themselves in a way that actually matters to them.
p It's a big project (to make small sites), and I have a lot of work to do. <b>But I can't do it without your help</b>.
p The technology has become affordable enough where we can provide this creative space without requiring a business plan that involves selling people out to the marketing industry. But it still costs money, especially since server demand is so expensive right now. And there are some possible surprise costs I haven't figured out yet (bandwidth bill estimates are difficult). <b>But if NeoCities can get enough donations, NeoCities can survive!</b> Together, we can prevent <a href="http://mashable.com/2009/04/23/geocities-shutdown/" target="_blank">what happened to GeoCities</a> from happening again.
p Our creativity is too important to be commercialized. Help keep this idea alive by donating! $100, $20, $5, a free round of beers at your pub, <a href="http://slideshare.net/kyledrake" target="_blank">speaking invites to conferences</a> so I can spread the word, free server hosting, anything helps. Thank you!
