Gigya Launches Free Auto-Posting Tool to Boost Virality of Website Content

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Gigya, the leading provider of social-sharing tools, today announced the release of Wildfire, a free, powerful tool for content websites that enables the one-click posting of content to social networks and blogs such as MySpace or Xanga.

Wildfire's one-click posting functionality lets users share content such as videos, slide shows, music, games, and widgets without leaving the content provider's site, replacing the clumsy copy/paste technique.

"We are already bringing social-sharing tools directly to consumers via our Gigya Webmail product. Now, with the debut of Wildfire, our website partners can provide dynamic-sharing functionalities directly to their users," said Eyal Magen, Gigya's CEO.

"Using Wildfire, our users are able to post more easily than ever before," said Joe Heitzeberg, CEO of Snapvine. "Snapvine is a communications platform, so it's critical that our users be able to share it with their friends and family easily. Using Wildfire has increased our number of posts greatly."

Wildfire is available at http://www.gigya.com/wildfire. The tool can be operational within 30 minutes and is fully customizable, making it compatible with every type of site layout and design.
