“MeinVZ” should launch this night

Die Grafik The German social network http://www.meinvz.net should launch this night. It is an addition to German’s biggest community StudiVZ (about 8 million users). With this new platform Holtzbrinck trying to increase their number of users by targeting the far bigger part of the population -> the ones that are not (anymore) students.

Certainly this is a necessary step, as Facebook.de will become a serious opponent in 2008. In my opinion the VZ-group will not be able to survive parallel to Facebook for a longer period of time, as Facebook has become too mighty within the last year. Maybe an acquisition will follow, but let’s see …

As the domain is still forwarding to StudiVZ.net you can find a screenshots of the new MeinVZ.net a line below. But don’t expect too much, there aren’t any major changes. Different logo, name and stylesheet, that seems to be it.
