KickApps Integrates with Award Winning Drupal

Third Major Content Management System to Receive Shared Authentication Module

NEW YORK, November 28, 2007 — KickApps, the leading on demand social media platform, today announced the availability of a Single Sign-On (SSO) module that enables a seamless member login experience between Drupal powered sites and KickApps hosted social media sites. Developers and publishers using the widely used open source content management system (CMS) can now easily integrate social media experiences, such as social networking, user-generated content, programmable video players and Widgets for content syndication, with their sites to fuel audience growth and engagement.

“Building on our recent integration with Joomla! and WordPress, we’re excited about the new module, which makes it easier than ever for developers to integrate social media communities with websites of all sizes built using any of these three popular platforms,” said Alex Blum, CEO of KickApps. “The integration solidifies our continued commitment to eliminating barriers for any publisher wishing to introduce powerful social media experiences. Now site owners can be free to focus on programming, editorial content, marketing and promotion, to ensure that their online communities become a rich and integral part of their overall site experience.”

The module includes support for versions 6.x, 5.3 and 4.7 of Drupal. When developers enable the KickApps SSO module for their Drupal sites, registered site members will be auto-registered into the site’s KickApps powered community during sign in, requiring no initial user import by the developer. Once logged in and on the community site, the member is brought over to his or her profile page, where they can start uploading video, photos and audio, and manage their media.
