The city has, however, quietly been home to some of the most successful online companies to date, including CitySearch (sold to Ticketmaster for $260 million in 1998), Overture (acquired by Yahoo for $2 billion in 2003), eHarmony and LowerMyBills (bought by Experian for $330 million in 2005). The Southern California locale benefits from its easy proximity to Silicon Valley, just an hours flight away, as well as from the many universities in the area, including Cal Tech, where Intel founder Gordon Moore went to school.

Internet portal Yahoo is quietly shutting Geocities , the Internet home page portal it acquired in 1999. Yahoo said it is no longer accepting new customers, and will discontinue the service later this year. Geocities was one of Southern California's original, dot com successes, having both a successful IPO in August of 1998, and a $4.5 billion stock-and-option acquisition by Yahoo in 1999. The firm was later moved to the Bay Area by Yahoo.

The last chapter for Internet homepage Geocities has been written, with Yahoo telling its last remaining users of the service that it will shut down on October 26th. According to Yahoo, as of October 26th, GeoCities sites will no longer appear on the web. In addition, the company warned users that they will lose all access to their account and files, with all of the files being deleted from Yahoo's servers Yahoo had initially said it would shut GeoCities in April. The shutdown puts to bed one of Southern California's original Internet success stories.

Further details on the deal between Yahoo and Microsoft have come out in a filing by Yahoo with the SEC, with Yahoo saying that Microsoft will hire at least 400 Yahoo employees, and potentially another 150 employees to help with the transition, as Microsoft takes over the search engine features of Yahoo's sites. Yahoo and Microsoft said last Wednesday that Yahoo will abandon its search engine development efforts, and instead use Microsoft's technology--including Microsoft adCenter. It's unclear if any of those employees involved in the deal would be located in Yahoo's Southern California locations, which include Burbank, San Diego, and Santa Monica.

In a major deal, search portal provider Yahoo and software giant Microsoft said that the two companies are in a deal where Yahoo will replace its own search engine technology with that of Microsoft--with potentially huge repercussions to Yahoo's Southern California search engine marketing operations. Yahoo and Microsoft said that Yahoo will use the technology behind Microsoft's Bing search engine to power all of the web search aspects of its web site, with Yahoo taking over premium search advertising sales for Microsoft. The two specifically said, in an oblique reference to Google, that the move would provide an alternative to advertisers, so that they no longer to have "rely on one company that dominates more than 70 percent of all search."

I was recently talking with the CEO of a high tech startup here, and he asked me — why did I bother covering Southern California companies? Why not write more articles about Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. Why care about Southern California as a place for high tech?

was thinking about this recently in respect to Southern California–land of Michael Jackson—and its technology industry, and I find it interesting how Silicon Valley’s own list of “technology celebrities” compares to Southern California’s own set of “technology celebrities.” Irwin Jacobs (Qualcomm), Kamran Pourzanjani (Pricegrabber), Michael Robertson (MP3.com, etc.), Jake Weinbaum (Business.com, eCompanies), Scott Blum (Buy.com), all the folks from Applied Semantics (now Google), Overture (now Yahoo), and so on.
