Thinkpages: Difference between revisions

Thinkpages was conceived of by Marcos Perle, an engineer attached to [[Levantine Union]] defense forces on the [[Vandarch]], in early 2002. Perle envisioned the space primarily as a blog for general thoughts primarily targeted at individuals on military bases throughout the Levantine Union, and with the blog features he included a primitive social networking component in order for military personnel to meet each other online, allowing the posting of photos, life events, and real names. Launched in July 2002, the service was successful in Vandarch area military postings, and began to spread throughout northern [[Dericania]] by early 2003 as personnel using the service were deployed to other regional bases. Civilian use of the platform is believed to have begun around this time, as users of the platform would return home following the end of a military tour. A military email was originally required to create an account, but it was opened to all residents of the Deric States by early 2004. The platform quickly expanded to [[Urcea]] in 2005.
