The site was divided into eight sections: U.S., world, business, science and technology, sports, arts and entertainment, life and opinion. == History == Ongo was founded by CEO Alex Kazim, who devised the idea for the site after growing "frustrated with the low quality of most news sites."〔Bercovici, Jeff, ("You Go For Ongo?" ) ''Forbes'', 28 February 2011〕 Kazim, who had previously held executive positions at Skype, PayPal and eBay, looked to improve the online news-reading experience by combining news sites in one place, implementing a reader-friendly design and removing advertisements.
