You didn't hear from me for quite a while, but for a reason We were very busy!

Let me tease you with some big words about our new Internet Platform yougel.com

yougel.com is the revolution in webdesign and user created content. Create your own websites simply by draging your content on your page. It's truly that easy! It's not about what you see is what you get, its about what you see is what you have. It's not another myspace clone and its not a social networking site, its a creative networking site! Furthermore we aren't another website in beta state, no - we are a website in alpha state. We just didn't feel like calling it beta, but its already public. Ok you might think, a change in name, not a big deal. So go ahead, see what we have to offer...

Okok I stop it! This is of course no official press release, more like a sneak preview for all you interested bloggers out there. Let me explain yougel.com a little more clear to you without stressing your attention span even more.

First the creative part:

yougel.com lets you upload all kinds of media (pictures,videos,soundfiles,flash animation,vector graphics) and combine them with widgets that define a certain form and function (textblox,line,slideshow,3 coloumn layout...) by just draging and dropping them on your own page.

And of course the networking features:

yougel.com lets you make friends, create groups, send internal mails, ... and gives you automatic subdomains for your profile and pages [ username.yougel.com (/page1) ]

Like i said we are in a very early state of development. There will be alot more features coming soon, since we built the whole thing pretty modular with Flex and PHP (well parts of that are still in development too haha).

For now the Interface is in german but soon we are going to change it back to english (thats what we started with) or put dual language support in it.

I could talk about it forever, and even less structured than i just did, but for now better register and try out what we have got on yougel.com by clicking on the start button on the bottom left and then the register button("bist du neu hier?").

Keep the following in mind while trying out yougel.com

- You only need your left mouse button

- Menu on the bottom left is your personal stuff like uploaded media...

- Menu on the bottom right lets you edit a page if its your own and you can find the widgets in there

- When you activated the edit mode, try to drag and drop to add things to your page and double click objects on your page or the background to edit its details.

- Be creative!

have fun Thomas
