It's hard for me to get excited about a website these days because everything that seems to pop up is a carbon fiber copy of something that exists already on the internet. I experienced this in my time online as a website administrator when sites that I created were copied by other people to the minimal creative pixel I put into my creation. The only difference was that they were not unique, they were just mimics. When I browse the internet now I feel like I am watching a show of mimes, no character that has their unique voice, no character that displays a new vibrant color. The last time I got super excited while browsing the internet was when I discovered Virb.com - a completely amazing website that cleaned up social networking and gave us - the people - a unique product.

In the football world, it has been years since I've been excited about a new site. You have the same old big ogres looking and performing the same way they did years ago. Then you have a plethera of forums that were built to offer the exact same discussions, sections, and platform as every other forum that exists. Yes football discussion is fun, but we've evolved, and therefore, the way we discuss has to evolve as well.

Far too many football sites have been making profits while ignoring the investment in progressive technologies to take their platform to the next level. You have to visit one site to read news, then go to another to find pictures (and that God awful google image search), then you have to go to youtube or even worse, footytube to find videos (which are usually poor in quality), and then you have to go to one of many football forums to be able to discuss everything you gathered up from all of these different sources; finally you relize that your desktop is lonely so you have to find a site with decent wallpapers, and then you also realize that your ears are jelous of your desktop, so you have to search for hours for a good podcast of your favorite teams and leagues. 

Well, thankfully there exist people in this world that have a progressive mind, and know how to find resources, people and ideas from. These people have congregated at Ole Ole, and they've created a damn good product. Football fans are not ignored any longer by the uselessness of the big players, and the hard to find nature of the small players in the football world. We now have a platform to get all the information we could possibly need in one place - and best of all, we the people get to decide what goes where and what is good and what is bad. Everyone is an editor, everyone is a journalist, everyone is a photographer, a video producer, a graphic designer, and unlike George W. Bush thinks, we're all deciders. 

The internet was created to give a platform for people to create their own media and their own entertainment and netowrking. Football fans finally have a platform to express who they are, what their passion is and speak it in their native toungue. The world of football comes together, and football is evolving. Hopefully the progressive nature of Ole Ole will never cease to develop, and from now on, we'll never look at football the way we are looking at it now - because we get to paint the picture, and that's very important!
