About OgleOgle

OgleOgle — Ogle: to look at especially with interested attention — allows you to express your ideas through rich wall cards that take seconds to create and are easy to collect, comment upon, and share (on OgleOgle and to other social networks).

What is OgleOgle?

OgleOgle lets you create, collect and share everything you love. OgleOgle is a project from 7 Technologes that began as an experiment in recipe search targeted at foodies for the purpose of providing food lovers a platform. Following the lead of the community, OgleOgle has since evolved to be a service where people connect over shared interests expressed through beautiful cards which are organized into wall groups.

Follow users to tune your OgleOgle feed. By following a user, you are expressing affinity with that content or the people posting that content. Over time, your following feed will show you posts from the people you follow and provide opportunities to follow new, related content and people. Are you a foodie? If so, visit the Food Category to see posts on food and connect with people who share your passion. Is football your thing? Create a wall of cards about your favorite team and others will likely join in. From food to football; animated gifs to animals – you’ll likely find the topic on OgleOgle and enjoy connecting with like-minded people.
