TechCrunch: KickApps “Best” Platform For Adding Social Networking To Your Website

In KickApps, Social Media, Social Networking, TechCrunch

Great review in TechCrunch in which KickApps goes head-to-head with several other players in the “white label” social media space. It’s an extensive piece that’s well worth taking the time to read, and a positive, insightful view into our platform and its key differentiators.

Overall, it cements KickApps’ reputation as the leader of the pack in what we do, calling us “the best platform for integrating social networking components into existing websites,” citing the high level of control we offer to both developers and designers and commending our widget-building tools as “the most robust” in the group.

It also highlights another key difference between us and some of our competitors–the fact that every KickApps-powered site has its own discrete member base. So when someone signs up to become a member of your community, that’s exactly what they’ll become, not a member of some sort of broader network of communities. In other words, we believe in giving our customers the highest level of control and ownership possible.

Check out the full TechCrunch piece after the jump.

    I missed the part where TC said KickApps is the BEST??? Sorry guys, re-read the article, it doesn’t say that. One of the better options, maybe.

    I found KickApps very clunky and difficult to adapt to the look and feel of mysite. I did get am email from a CS person, but not offered any real help in setting this up.

    Thanks for the post! I’m sorry you didn’t get the help you were looking for in setting up KickApps. Free to contact me directly at dhertog@kickapps.com if there’s any way I can assist. We feel we offer one of the most flexible platforms available, and we’re also constantly making improvements so your input is greatly appreciated.

    In terms of the TechCrunch post, I was talking about the following line in 6th paragraph: “KickApps provides the best platform for integrating social networking components into existing websites.”

    Thanks,

    David
