Kickapps kicks some serious Butt!

What's in a name? EVERYTHING!

I've discovered a really cool website that is offering a wide variety of services for FREE! Yes, free of charge if you allow advertising on your site. This isn't your Grandmother's site, with something free of charge that is extremely lame; these are apps that totally rock. The name of the site is KickApps, and they offer Social and Media applications free of charge, or for a fee if you want to go advertising free on your site.

KickApps has a wide variety of applications for you to use on your site, including: social networking, photo & video sharing, comments & ratings, message boards, blogs, widgets, video players, & a feed manager. The people at KickApps are very helpful and have even thought of devoting a completely different site to help companies who are using their apps. The second site is called KickDeveloper, a community of KickApps affiliates. This site has blogs, messageboards, and much more. It is a place for developers to connect, share ideas, and learn how to use KickApps in the development of their own sites. Very cool!

KickApps has already helped a site win an Emmy...seriously! The Phoenix Suns won an Emmy for their site called Planet Orange which is powered by KickApps. Overall, I think that this idea is awesome, and the company has done an amazing job to promote itself. I have seen KickApps advertising all over the web, on numerous sites, even on a Twitter application that I have on my iPhone. They are spreading their advertising around and obviously the word is getting out. If I were developing a site, I would definitely consider using some of their apps in my design.
