Whiz

Whiz was a digital enterprise and social network service that pioneered a new wave of digital communication.

Before A Trick of Light
Whiz was founded by William Ackerson and Wesley Park as a "garage project" in the early days of the Internet; by 2000, Whiz became a massively influential social media industry. After its success, Ackerson veered the company's direction towards a focus on a virtual city he dubbed "Oz". However, the company suffered during the dot-com crash, and the company shut down with the Oz project portals barricaded from all user interface.
