Remember, on the web content is king. The problem with most social media is that its a lot of crap content, that no one would preserve. Would you even want a historical dump of your facebook wall history? Facebook is designed so you will create current-related content to drive relevant ads for what you want now. It removes the effort to thinking and proofing even something like a Xanga or Live Journal. Even with the rise of "easy" CMS systems like drupal or joomla, there is still a large hurdle to entry. Neocities fills that gap for those who don't want to worry about what is going on under the web page, and is going one step past the pendulum swing of jekyll, pelican, etc. This seems like a path in the right direction to allow people to put stuff out in public which may be niche and may not be just word-content like on a free blog system like blogger.
