KickApps Version 2.1 Preview

After a bunch of late nights, we’re happy to say we’ll be rolling out a significant update to the KickApps platform this Friday, May 18th. There are a lot of improvements to talk about (and we’ll detail all of them when the release goes live) but until then, we wanted to get you a quick note on the most major one:

We’ve redesigned most of your member-facing pages, right down to the underlying HTML and CSS. The result is a much more attractive user experience that’s easier for you to customize.

If you’re an affiliate who’s using custom CSS styles on your KickApps site, you’ll need to update them before the release goes live on the 18th.

Check out the official CSS update documentation here. We’ve done our best to make the process as smooth as possible for you.

That’s about it for now. We look forward to telling you more about the new update on Friday, and we’re extremely excited to bring you this new level of control and flexibility with your KickApps-powered site.

KickApps Drives Cycling.TV Community

Pro cycling (that is, bicycle racing) isn’t nearly as big in the States as it is overseas, but it should be. Ask anyone whose seen a live race and they’ll say the same. If you can’t make it to this year’s Tour de France, try Cycling.tv, the Net’s highest-trafficked cycling IPTV site, and one of the fastest-growing online cycling destinations in the world.

When Cycling.tv needed a social media platform to drive audience participation around their content, they used KickApps to create The Innertube. Why KickApps? You’ll have to read the press release to find out, but I assure you it wasn’t because of our athletic prowess.

Alex Interviewed on ITVT

Interactive TV Today’s Tracy Swedlow sat down with our CEO, Alex Blum, to speak about the nature of the platform, the company, and where we sit in an increasingly dynamic environment. If you’re a new visitor to the blog, or your just looking for more depth on KickApps and what we do, it’s well worth the read. Check it out here.
