Robert Eric Muita is a Kenyan who developed Africa's and Kenyan's first social media portal called Kenyazones in 2001 which allowed users to create, edit and upload their individual profiles and host them on virtual neighborhoods referred as community zones. Unfortunately the idea was well ahead of its time in his country and many of his friends couldn't see how a social media website referred back then a 'community site' could generate revenue and stay afloat. The website closed down within an year due to lack of funds for hosting and development.
