Sprout Your Media, Feed Your Sprouts

Author An article by Phil    Comments No Comments

Sprout Builder is a web application for creating and managing Flash content. It gives users the power to assemble rich media without having to deal with the complexity of Flash, Flex or Silverlight.

Live rss and ical data feeds can be displayed along with images, videos and audio streams. More specialized components bring in Google Charts, Yahoo Maps and ChipIn payments.

The multi-page widgets can be embedded in any web site. They also have viral marketing features built in, with distribution to MySpace, Orkut, Facebook, WordPress, NetVibes and others handled automatically via Gigya, Clearspring and SpringWidgets.

The embedded website and social network widgets link back to your original content on the Sprout server and in your feeds, which means that when you make changes to your content, those changes are cascaded through the entire distribution channel. The combination of RSS and Calendar components in an easy to use widget framework provide an good solution for keeping members, fans and clients up do date with your latest news and offerings.
