JACKSONVILLE, FL, Jun 01 (MARKET WIRE) --
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
