"KickApps, the provider of hosted social media platforms, and Akamai, which accelerates content online, have launched an Akamai-powered KickApps solution.\nThis joint product enables companies to create communities that revolve around media, and have gained some new clients in the process, including BET Networks, HBO-Cinemax and VIBE Magazine.  With the KickApps platform offering several social networking components for the purpose of distributing and sharing content through widgets and other tools, the service has been a key provider of these services for traditional media companies.  Coupled with Akamai, the syndication options for social media are expanded even further, and offers a more comprehensive solution for businesses looking to leverage shareable content online, from massive media consumption to user interaction.\nIn related news, Autobahn Accelerator has launched its service for MySpace TV, adding to its existing service for iTunes.  KickApps recently launched its 2.0 Version earlier this year."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
