Visage (Social media)

Overview
Visage is one of the largest social media platforms on Evis, sort of like a combination of VK/Myspace and Twitter. Visage led the social media boom throughout much of Evis, and has been the longest-lasting thus far. It boasts an active user base of just over 230 million people a month, though according to statistics the majority of these users are in Esmon, Wonovell and the Osmine Isles. Myalis and Menaiba are tied for making up the least percentage of users, due to the low prevalence of Internet access in these areas. For a few years, Sterenia actually banned the use of Visage (on account of it was believed to be a security risk) but in recent years the ban has been lifted and Sterene people can use Visage; however, the platform never rose to the popularity it enjoyed in other countries.

Creation
(note: still haven't come up with Evis's date/calendar system, so will leave out precise dates for now)

Visage was created in (year) by Benny Steele, initially as a project for his programming class in college. This first iteration of Visage was very limited in scale, with only a function to post into a large message-board like area and a search function that let you find posts based on words in the post. Though primitive by today's standards, Steele's project so impressed his professor that she begged him to find investors and other people to help make this into a real platform. So along with some of his classmates, he formed Visionary Tech, Inc., as an owner for Visage.

Evolution of the platform
Visage went through many changes over its course of existence. Although no screenshots exist of the very first version Steele showed at his college, the beta site was reported to have deviated very little from that initial design.
