South Africa's Facebook version

South African social networking site Blueworld was founded by Bradley Voges, Charl Norman and Brendt Brooks in 2005. They took over an events and nightclub photography Web site which was operating from the Eastern Cape. Over time they added social networking, which eventually developed into Blueworld, described as South Africa's own Facebook. Blueworld is predominantly about meeting new people in South Africa. You can browse through content and profiles without logging in. Because there are more cellphones in South Africa than there are computers, Blueworld recently launched m.blueworld.co.za which allows users to interact via their cellphones. The company was recently part of an acquisition by 24.com
