Comfortably the youngest entrepreneur to be interviewed by the Huffington Post UK, Colchester's Andrew Dewar made his social network http://www.ooblur.com/ debut with new business Ooblur at just 14 years old.

How many registrations have you had so far? And how many of them do you consider to be active users?

We have just over 1.9 million members so far and I'd say around 1.7m are active.

Wow, thats a lot of members. His site looks pretty good for a social network he made himself.
 
It is an interesting articles. How long did it take?

His site was created in December 2008, so it took him 4 years and 2 months according to his LinkedIn Profile http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/andrew-dewar/22/420/685

Wow, he was about 10 or 9 years old when he started the website. He has some very good dedication, and patients for such a young person since most young people are not as dedicated or patient to create such a huge and successful site.
 
Damn, I wish I could do that. Simply don't have the program skills >_
 
He probably also posted a lot of good content to his social network to keep it interesting, and attracted active posters which post quality posts which people like to read rather than trolls, and generic posts like lol, +1, or wass up.
