The curious social service
KickApps started working. It is a collection of widgets, with which you can add the functionality of a social network or photo sharing service - to any site and completely free.
In general, the “social application platform” business model that KickApps embodies is very similar to the
algorithm of Ning.com. Ning.com is also a “platform for social services,” where you can also build a social site from widgets, like from a designer. The difference between the Ning.com platform is that it does not allow exporting these widgets to other sites, and KickApps allows it, being fully satisfied with the backend function. Apparently, the company KickApps expects to achieve fame through the
"viral" distribution of its widgets on the Internet.
By the way, startup KickApps has already received
$ 6 million in venture financing . A business plan involves making profits from paid services.
