Weekendr was a social network launched in October 2006 where the users organised weekend activities and shared them with other members. The principal objective was to make new friends. Another of its features was to inform you about what your friends were going to do during the weekend and to allow you to sign up to their plans.

It boasted all the typical social networking functions, personal blogs and it allowed you to customise its appearance. In the first week of its launch, 300 users registered thanks to the interest it aroused on a number of blogs, amongst them Mashable.

It was released by a German company but the site was available only in English; surely a preliminary step towards a greater internationalisation that never came to be.

The creator of Weekendr is a German 39 years old; a CEO of a company that develops games for mobiles and casual games for PC. His name is Andreas Schneider and he lives very close to Cologne (Germany). He developed and designed the social network in just a month using Microsoft ASP (Active Server Pages).
