German language article

Hi, so far this links to the German article "Netzwerker" (networker), which is far from what this article talks about. Anyone up to creating a German-language article with me? Suggestion: de:Geschäftsnetzwerk (Internet) -- Horst-schlaemma (talk) 16:17, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
