A 25-year old Ugandan Computer Science
graduate, Julius Sseremba has launched a
social networking platform called Elitehive .
According to Ugandan newspaper The
Observer, Elitehive is a social networking
application where people can connect,
chat, share photos/videos and get news.
Already being described as the Ugandan
version of Facebook, the site was created
by the graduate of Makerere
University, who presently works with
BizTalk Systems Uganda Limited as a
systems developer.
‘We developed our own Ugandan
alternative to global social networks (with)
unique features. For instance, we have a
feature called Hive where all the public
content is pushed. People can get real-
time newsfeeds on education, politics,
entertainment, sports, etc. ’ Sseremba
says .
Activated in April this year, the site already
has 2,000 members with at least 500
active daily users, from 20 different
countries.
