Gigya!
September 2, 2008
I just love that word. “Gigya!” It makes me think of Glen Quagmire (giggity) on Family Guy® and Kramer (giddy up!) on Seinfeld. But really, Gigya is a company that provides free Wildfire technology for sharing and tracking your company’s widget. The Wildfire technology supports more than 50 destinations, including:
- Social networks, including Facebook
- Blog platforms
- Start pages
- Desktops
Which is why we are using it on TinyPic! Gigya allows you to post images and videos to a multitude of sites or email images and videos to a host of your friends.
- Go to http://tinypic.com, and choose the image or video you want to share or post. Log into your account if you want to use your own content. Below Tools or Your Toolbox on the left, you can see the Gigya widget:
- Choose the location to which you want to post the selected content, or click the Email link to email the content.
- Follow the instructions for your selected option.
There you go! Nice feature, isn’t it? The better news is that you can use Gigya within videos that you play on TinyPic! So, let’s say you are watching a video on TinyPic. Click the hyperlink icon at the bottom. The Gigya options display, and you can post, bookmark, or email the video, as well as copy the code if you want to embed it in your own web page!
