Sorry to intrude on all the fun with another work-related post, but since my job at KickApps has consumed so much of my life recently, I feel compelled to share some of the fruits of my labor with you all.

As you know, KickApps creates software that allows web site owners to offer “community” features on their web sites, like message boards, chat rooms, video and photo sharing, blogs, member profiles, member to member messaging, etc… We have some big clients like ABC, The CW Network, The DIY Network, the Phoenix Suns, Seattle Seahawks, New York Knicks, Guinness Book of World Records, as well as a bunch of smaller customers trying to create and nurture “niche communities” around things like Helmet Cameras, Dub and Reggae Music, Genesis and even Pomegranates.

We launched a significant upgrade to our platform and you can watch a video below that highlights them.

Also, here are some links to the (overwhelmingly positive) press that we’ve received so far.

Thanks to everyone at KickApps and thanks to Wendy and the kids for putting up with me these past few months(?)!
