Userplane Partners with Community Platform Providers for Service Integration

Dominic Rivera — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 19:01:46 +0000

Social software provider for online communities Userplane has inked partnerships with four online social media platform providers to integrate Userplane applications to enhance their offerings.

KickApps, Small World Labs, Magnify and Pringo will integrate Userplane’s live chat, instant messaging and presence functionality into their respective platforms. Members of sites powered by these four platforms can now engage in live text and audio/video conversations with each other via Userplane’s chat and/or instant messaging applications.

Through each platform’s relationship with Userplane, the four have integrated Userplane Webchat2 and Userplane Webmessenger2 as core features of each platform. The Userplane chat and IM features are available at no additional cost. Userplane shares advertising revenue from the placement of non-intrusive, relevant advertising on the chat and IM clients, across its platform partners.

Pringo adds Microblogging to White Label Social Networking Mix

White label social network provider Pringo has added a micro-blogging service to its mix, a move claimed to be the “first white label social networking platform which allows customers to employ Twitter-like functionality.”

We’ve seen no shortage of new players enter the microblogging space recently as Twitter has ridden the fail whale. I don’t have a lot of details about how the Pringo microblogging service will work, for example will the service be within each social networking site or across Pringo powered sites, but consider the broader implications: if you thought you’ve seen a rush of Twitter clones already, wait till they become a standard add-on to every non-major social networking site. Pringo is a more specialist white label provider, compared to say a service like Ning, that offers social networking sites for everyone, but it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to guess that other players in this space are likely to folow suit.

Pringo client sites include StreetCred, MyCountrySpace, and eHarmony.

Pringo Gets Some Ninja Loving

White label social networking networking startup Pringo has partnered with NINJA Mobile to power an application that allows mobile users to view, create, post, and share content from their cell phones on any Web site built on Pringo’s platform.

The joint mobile service allows consumers to choose between low-fee subscription or ad-supported packages, with site owners benefiting from the ability to monetize their Web sites through advertising.

LA based Pringo has been fairly quiet new wise since I last wrote about them back in October 2007. The tech is something like Ning meets Geocities 2.0, with more customization than many in this space. They have an impressive list of partners here.
