Please give us a short summary of your website?
OleOle is the worldwide leading social media site for football fans. Fans around the world need a site that enables news and information that is independent of the traditional media, leagues, clubs or organizations who deliver their own content. OleOle’s multi-lingual site enables football fans to connect with each other in an environment that has 100% fan-driven content - blogs, fan clubs, articles, news, podcasts, photos, videos, stats, and history.
What inspired the founder to launch OleOle?
OleOle's founder Doug Knittle enlisted the help of David Mok to create an alternative news source for football fans after he couldn’t find the information he needed during the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany. Together they started OleOle to break the mold of old-world geographic limitations and centralized news reporting that tethers large media conglomerates to the 1950’s. Together, they set out to build an online experience for football fans where the fans drive the news and discussions, not some commentator in a suit or a glassy-eyed editor behind a big walnut desk.
