Gabriel Opare, a 19-year-old Ghanaian
university student is making headlines in the
tech industry for building a new search
engine to rival Google and Youtube.
According to Opare, his new search engine,
Mudclo, will challenge the dominance of
YouTube and Google.
Mudclo is a free search engine for videos
where you can discover and stream videos
from the different locations on the internet
all in one place. “I believe that my business is
good enough and that it can scale globally. It
is a legitimate point to say that YouTube is a
video hosting website, but they are two
different entities. While YouTube is a video
hosting website, Mudclo combines the
power of YouTube and two other video
hosting websites in order to create Mudclo,”
he said.
Opare, a level 300 sociology student of the
University of Ghana who taught himself how
to code by taking online courses during his
free time.
