First Android App or Zoetermeer in Pictures.
In earlier times, stories, facts and old photos were taken from books or were looked up in the city library. ' Zoetermeer in Beeld ' went back in time in the summer of 2003 and took the Zoetermeerder on a journey in the distant past when Zoetermeer still consisted of the villages of Soetermeer and Zegwaart.
The need for a fully -fledged website about Zoetermeer, which had to give added value to the website of the municipality of Zoetermeer, has certainly been shown from the many written post from both Zoetermeer and elsewhere in the Netherlands and Belgium.
In Zoetermeer, after discovering the internet, the media said they were very enthusiastic and interviews with the 'Zoetermeer Journaal' (now 'Postiljon Zoetermeer & Region') and 'Zoetermeer FM'.
In June 2004, ' Zoetermeer in Beeld ' was expanded with very unpleasant sections such as 'then and now' and 'The future city'. Every weekend an overview of the last news from the city of the past week followed. In this way ' Zoetermeer in Beeld ' would also 'bring the present' in this case 'in word'. ' Zoetermeer in Beeld ' not only had to be informative, the visibility of the city also had to take a prominent place. And how could that be better during the many festivities held and the most beautiful places in the city. ' Zoetermeer in Beeld ' records all this on the sensitive plate.
