Sept. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- MOVE over Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg...here comes Andrew Dewar.
The enterprising teen, from Essex, has set up a competing website – ooblur.com.

Andrew, 14, launched the social networking site a month ago and it has already attracted Thousands of members, as well as an impressive average of 40,000 page views a day.

Its popularity soared after Andrew, a pupil at Honywood Community Science School in Coggeshall, advertised it on his Facebook page and handed out leaflets promoting it in Colchester.

He said: “I watched the film, the Social Network, about Mark Zuckerberg and it really inspired me.”

“I have started websites before where people could upload videos and for gaming, but they just failed.”

“The first day with ooblur.com I had about four members, the second day I had about 25 then it just escalated!”

"Now I’ve got people from America, France, Africa, Cyprus and lot’s of other people on the site, even businesses. I am very surprised with its success.”

Andrew added “I always watched BBC The Apprentice and Dragon’s Den  knew I wanted to be like them, My Dad has always been in business and I always looked up to him as well and he inspired and motivated me, although he did take the mick out of my crazy business ideas growing up!” He Jokes

People who sign up to the site, which is free, create an account with a username and password.
They can then upload information about their hobbies and interests, add photographs and even download their favourite songs to their page.

We asked Andrew, what would be your advice to young people in business or thinking about it?

He said “Don’t give up, if you want to do something do it, not tomorrow or  in a week, NOW! If you truly want to be successful , you need to get up and do something about it! If you don’t do something, maybe business is not for you, but don’t give up!

Version 2 has just been launched and now has lot’s of new features, and more to come in the future!
