Geocities is shutting down will yahoo stock raise or drop?

Later this year yahoo's free webhosting service GeoCities will be closing permanently. All websites by the end of the year will be terminated, regardless of it being paid for or being free. This means yahoo will no longer offer any form of free webhosting service. The implications are simply put that because they no longer support free web hosting they drop even farther away from major competitor google. As such we can expect a negative outcome for their stock this year, and more importantly closer towards the end of the year. services like webs.com will become of more interest and i forsee that their stock will only raise to a great extent. Google's stock will raise to an exceptional amount at the beginning of yahoo's new conquest of paid hosting. What will be interesting is if people webcrawl and archive geocities websites and develope new websites based off the old ones no longer available? One things for certain this will have a profound impact on the internet.
