Content Management Matters ™

It was just last month, when KickApps kicked off a video deal with Akamai.

Today, the on-demand social media and online video and widget applications provider announced that it has made it “extremely easy” for web publishers to add video advertising to their editorial and user-generated videos using the KickApps Widget and Video Player Studio.

KickApps and Akamai are teaming up to take on video publishing. KickApps brings the ability to create and manage custom video players with excellent social features. Akamai comes in with the ability to easily automate digital distribution systems while providing enterprise-level video distribution. Put them both together, and what results is an app-kicking combination!

Are you running an open source WCM website that needs a little social interactivity? You can get with it KickApps. The SaaS social media solutions provider has been working hard to provide their services to open source content management solutions like Joomla, Drupal and WordPress. You can learn all about it at the Linux World Expo in San Francisco next week.

KickApps has expanded the service offering of its on-demand social media platform by partnering with Userplane to add Live Chat, instant messaging and presence awareness functionality.

What do you do after signing big agreements with the likes of UK-based Guinness World Records and Endemol UK? Why you open an office in Europe to service those major clients and a few more. At least that's what social media platform provider KickApps is doing.

Local television stations need revenue, too. More and more they find themselves in a situation similar to local newspapers -- they are losing money as people continue to stream to the Internet for their news.

So they have begun taking measures into their own hands by enlisting KickApps' application and WorldNow's consulting to boost their online revenue via user-generated venues and targeting traffic to local businesses.

New York based Kickapps, provider of on demand social media software, has released the latest version of its SaaS application suite. Kickapps 3.0 is designed to ease the deployment of features such as social networking, user generated content (UGC), and programmable video players and widgets.
