Social networks offer various tools to make our social lives easier and even help to extend it. Online communities like the VZ-networks - schuelerVZ, studiVZ and meinVZ - allow their users to stay in touch with their friends and to make new contacts. With more than 16 million members, the VZ-networks are currently the biggest social network in german-speaking Europe.





VZ-networks recently relaunched their chat application called "Plauderkasten". For this purpose, Lovely Systems engineered and implemented the complete frontend logic in AJAX - Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. Server communication is realized by the XMPP standard (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol). The new chat application "Plauderkasten" is online since Easter 2010. The next extensions are already scheduled.
