We have just updated projektwerk. Among other new features, some very practical social media functions have gone live, e.g. the new social media buttons. Now you can easily recommend interesting profiles and projects to your friends and colleges at twitter, google+ and facebook by one click.

You can find the Buttons on all profiles and projects on projektwerk. Shortly, the buttons will be placed in your personal matching-list, too.

Additionally new: The projektwerk twitter stream! You can find it on all projektwerk homepages (LINK) and on your individual welcome page after the login. There you can read the latest tweets from your projektwerk platform.
projektwerk wishes you a lot of fun by sharing!
