KickApps, the provider of hosted social media platforms, and Akamai, which accelerates content online, have launched an Akamai-powered KickApps solution.
This joint product enables companies to create communities that revolve around media, and have gained some new clients in the process, including BET Networks, HBO-Cinemax and VIBE Magazine. With the KickApps platform offering several social networking components for the purpose of distributing and sharing content through widgets and other tools, the service has been a key provider of these services for traditional media companies. Coupled with Akamai, the syndication options for social media are expanded even further, and offers a more comprehensive solution for businesses looking to leverage shareable content online, from massive media consumption to user interaction.
