Press release
Freggers.com - a new browser based virtual world for teens.
Regensburg, Germany, Feb. 15, 2008.
Explore the world, meet new friends, chat with comfy features and soon you can go shopping, rent your own room and decorate it. Buy, trade, give or sell virtual items to others.
Freggers seamlessly integrates streaming video and audio, e.g. from YouTube, and offers a "public viewing" experience in front of a virtual tv set in your own room, a big canvas on the plaza, in the cinema or in a virtual club to dance-off.
But Freggers goes far beyond other browser-based worlds. Server based real time rendering and intelligent streaming allow features that normally only real 3D-worlds can offer, e.g. individually equipped avatars with arbitrary complex motions. Even user-textured and -designed three-dimensional objects (e.g. furniture) are possible.
Freggers is a project of Regensburg, Germany based SPiN AG. One of the largest providers of chat communities and social networks in Germany. SPiN has 12 years of experience in developing and monetizing online communities. Part of its core competence is the design of successful subscription modells and the marketing of virtual items.
