The technology of the new online offer is based on CONTENS and uses several functions which help simplify editorial work. This includes intricate content, elaborate flash-objects, as well as active page areas that are automatically filled in with content according to specific criteria, just to name a few. Another special feature is the connection to the RTL internal media asset management system. The complete networking of all articles with web 2.0 elements, offers users the possibility to talk with their friends in the community about any of the topics.
