About the application provider

Awoga! Social Anywhere™ Awoga! Social anywhere is a social platform that enables websites publishes to embed social services that run within multiple clients. Awoga! Plugs into existing websites and CMS systems and enable creation of unique, multi-client usage scenarios. For example – video publishers can seamlessly embed comments and forum within the video, and users can interact with the posts both within the video and through the browser interface. The experience of watching the video becomes fully interactive, comments become part of the video itself and can also be aggregated centrally within the websites. Awoga! Expands the possibility of using different client environments in a way that are currently hardly found. Developers - just use your imagination. Stop thinking of social features as website pages. Think of your client environment as an option to create new social interaction scenarios that run anywhere. Here are some examples for scenarios that can build using Awoga! Social services platform: • A scenario that enables friend invitation to a specific scene within a movie. • A scenario that enables embedding comments within an iPhone conversation. • Customer interaction embedded within a product webcast, where customers can point to specific location and the interaction is presented on top of the display • Javascript application that enables commenting on to of a map interface • Rating of specific locations within a video of or an image • Mobile GPS application that includes chatting with a colleague that drives to the same location Just use your imagination. Awoga! For developers Awoga! Services are wrapped for different clients and can e consumed easily from these client environments. The good news for developers is that they can keep developing the applications the way they are used to. Actionscript developers can easily consume Awoga! Services from their Actionscript (development platform). And so php developers, and JavaScript developers. No need to learn a new language or to understand server computing. There is even no need to know databases. Just install the client wrapper and continue develop in your client environment as you are used to. All the backend logic is hidden in the “cloud”...
