Obami.com, says founder Barbara Mallinson, originally started off as a generic social network, “back in the days when Facebook was still closed. When Facebook became open to the public, I realised it was either adapt or die, so I went the niche network route and decided to focus on education.”
“This seemed the most obvious choice as schools consist of established real-life networks and – most importantly – there were no competitors.”
