JACKSONVILLE, FL--(Marketwire - June 1, 2009) - Cliqset, the platform helping stitch
together the social Web, today announced the launch of their second beta
release. The Cliqset platform offers both developers and users new ways to
create, organize and share social information on the Web, desktop and
mobile environments.
This latest release features more than thirty third-party social networking
and services integrations. These integrations allow developers and users
alike to easily and selectively push and pull social information to and
from Cliqset, Cliqset-enabled applications and supported third-party
services like Twitter, Facebook, Brightkite and MySpace.
Location-based capabilities are a key functionality of this release. In
beta 2, Cliqset is offering a Location Services API that allows mobile
developers to easily look up location information such as a street address
or city using any location-enabled device and store this location
information alongside their activities and events. Cliqset has also made a
point to integrate their location services with third-party services like
Brightkite, Fire Eagle and Twitter, simplifying the process of keeping a
user's social and location information in sync around the Web.
"With our first beta, we laid out the foundation for our vision by creating
a platform aimed at helping developers focus on creating unique, innovative
social applications more quickly and efficiently," said Darren Bounds,
co-founder and president, Cliqset. "With beta 2, we're continuing to build
out our platform to create a richer social experience for both developers
and users. With the addition of push/pull integrations with most major
third-party social and location-based services, combined with the creation
of a completely open and integrated suite of location services, Cliqset is
continuing to change the way that developers and users will create and
share social information on the Web."
First launched in beta in March 2009, Cliqset is a platform that captures,
organizes and brokers access to social information, creating a seamless
social experience everywhere: online, on mobile devices and on the desktop.
The company provides a platform of rich social APIs and services for
building scalable social applications for the Web, desktop and mobile
devices more efficiently. To find out more about Cliqset's developer
