KickApps has just launched a new development suite aimed at marketers, brand managers and developers to help simplify the development of Facebook applications. The KickApps App Studio allows everyone, even non-programmers, to create rich media Facebook apps. Headquartered in New York City and founded in 2005 by Eric Alterman and Pete Clark, KickApps provides solutions that enable the creation and management of next generation web experiences. Its suite of hosted social and media applications and services are used by some of the world’s largest websites and brands to grow and engage their online audiences while building deeper relationships with customers. The suites drag and drop functionality makes the suite incredibly easy to use, and allows users to create and deploy custom video players, social widgets and rich media ad units. The applications can serve as a Facebook fan page or as a tab on a Facebook page. Marketers and brand managers will easily be able to engage their audiences through social networking, user-generated content (UGC) and widgets through the KickApps platform, building applications that seem like natural extensions of Facebook.
