The local web community Lokalisten.de, according to several reports, counts as one of the five most clicked web pages in Germany. The successful website now has pepped up its offering with further features.

Since the start of Lokalisten.de in May 2005, the membership has grown to over 1.5 million.  Members have now gained new possibilities for presenting themselves onsite and making contact with their friends. The management of Lokalisten Media GmbH announced this in a recent press release.

“Localistas” are now able to record where they are presently located, and what they are doing there, and also add their “state of mind/mood”.  Using the (Google) map, each localista can see where his/her mates are located at the precise moment.  The intention of the community direction, is to offer easier, though more intensive contact to friends– even those not on line at the moment. Through the localization using Google Maps, members are enabled to meet up not only on-line, but also ‘spontaneously’ in real life.
