Evolution of Missosology.Org
Missosology.Org was founded by Ric G. Galvez of Guimaras, Philippines in
the winter of 1998. In December 2 of that year, Missosology.Org started as a
small personal webpage containing essays about the Miss Universe 1994 pageant.
It went alongside with a simple website for the college paper in which the
founder was the Editor-in-Chief. In 1999, the internet began to gain huge
popularity in the Philippines and Geocities became one of the front-runner in
free homepage hosting services. Inspired by other pageant-related websites,
the founder used Geocities to host a website focusing on Miss Universe beauty
pageant.
In September 1999, the website was named Miss Universe Page. Among of the
focus of the website were the Miss Universe 1999 pageant and the Bb. Pilipinas 2000.
The website moved on covering Miss Universe 2000 where the first official "Top
10 Predictions" started. In November of 2000, the website decided to include
Miss World and Miss International in its coverage. It was also in the year
2000 when the section "The Best and The Worst of the Year" was born.
In 2001, Missosology.com was born and it was supposed to move permanently
to that URL. However, financial constraints blocked the move, so the Miss
Universe Page, now called Missosology.Com, remained at Geocities.
By December of 2001, the website experienced problems regarding high data
transfer rates. With visitors amounting to 115 a day and with a very small
data transfer rate, the website became inaccessible to some in many instances.
To solve the problem, the organization sought out a new plan that requires
a budget. By May 2002, a plan was drawn to "seek out potential hosts for a new
website which is to be called as Missosology.Org." Also in the year 2002, the
website affiliated itself with Miss Mexico website to form a Spanish version
under the supervision of Arturo Su and with Miss Indonesia Unofficial to build
the Bahasa version under Ronald Suwandi.
Today, Missosology.Org enjoys a functional website with a generous data
transfer rate. The organization now is focusing itself to build
a community of missosologists that soon will be the foundation and backbone of
its existence.
Missosology had also established itself in the field of pageantry. Not only
did we acquire press credentials in major beauty pageants, we also continue to
garner noteworthy correspondences from several national directors, beauty
pageant contestants and pageant web-surfers.
With the website's thousands of daily hits, the organization is very inspired
to carry out a more updated, comprehensive & detailed pageant coverages. The
website is now known for presenting features that deal with the anatomy of
beauty pageants. Get into the fun of beauty pageants with Missosology!
