OMG! Ubuntu! is a Linux review blog that was launched in August 2009, that provides reviews, developments and updates about Ubuntu and its derivatives. The website is part of the Ohso Ltd Network.[3] Its main focus is average Ubuntu users, rather than developers.
The site was registered on September 2, 2009, [1] although it had existed prior to this date at another URL.[citation needed] Editor-in-Chief Joey-Elijah Sneddon reported in late May 2011 that OMG! Ubuntu! receives 3 million page views per month.[4]
While initially based on Blogger, the site now employs WordPress blog software, with a custom theme[5] designed by Ohso's co-owner and OMG! Ubuntu! writer Benjamin Humphrey and various custom built widgets and plugins.

Format
The site primarily provides blog-style updates about Ubuntu news as well as interviews with key people in the Linux community, such as Jono Bacon, Linus Torvalds, and Jeff Waugh.[6][7][8]
The site has a degree of integration with Ask Ubuntu, by including high-ranking questions and information from the site.[9]
In April 2011, to celebrate the release of Ubuntu 11.04 and as a response to the confusion surrounding the introduction of the Unity interface, the site launched an interactive guide to help new users.[10]
Other products
The OMG! Ubuntu! website has also released a commercial software game for the Ubuntu platform called Volley Brawl, available through the Ubuntu Software Centre.[11]
A free Android application for viewing the website is available.[12][13]
