Gigya’s Sales Team Annual Meeting & Holiday Celebration

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

On Monday we got our sales folks from all around the country into the Palo Alto headquarters for our annual sales team meeting.  The full day event was packed with updates from the marketing and business development teams, exercises and brainstorming.

Selling innovative social marketing solutions is exciting and challenging, and so it was a good opportunity to update everyone on all the new stuff we released lately (Social Widgets rock) and on stuff we have in the pipeline (lots of it – the social web must move forward even in a recession).

Since sales was already in Palo Alto, we got everyone together for our first annual holiday celebration – dinner & bocce! This was excluding our dev team in Tel Aviv who will be bowling for Hanukkah next Sunday instead…

New York Times Widgets are Sharable via Gigya’s Wildfire

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

The New York Times widgets site just had a face lift, and while they added some color, they also implemented Gigya’s Wildfire sharing and tracking technology!  I love the NYT widgets – NYTimes.com made the customization very easy and appealing, you just feel like you need to add more and more tabs.

The widgets are JavaScript based, so they can only be used on a sub group of the destinations we support. Flash is still king when it comes to widgets, so we recommend using Flash as your widget development platform. Still, these are an excellent example of the atomization of the web.

Go create a NYTimes widget!
