¡ATAKO! and the Glam Applications Network
Atako is our new word for tech enthusiasm, and we are very atako about our new developer platform.
To enable new opportunities for publishers, developers, and advertisers, Glam Media launched the Glam Applications Network, an open-source platform that allows applications to be distributed with a built-in system for monetization. The platform that enables brand ad-enabled applications and widgets to be integrated into web sites and blogs, Glam Apps “Atako”, includes a standardized payment system for developers, publishers and media companies. Apps and widgets will be available in the Glam Apps Store (www.GlamApps.com), which provides a curated set of applications for publishers to add new features, build traffic and create new revenue streams.
What is a Glam App?
Glam Apps are widgets (or applications) based on the Google Gadget spec and wrapped with special Glam goodness so they can run on any publisher's Web site.
Who uses Glam Apps?
Glam's online publishers are always looking for more content and new functionality to engage their readers. Today, Glam Apps names more than 50 premier charter developers, including: Sphere (a division of AOL); BuzzFeed; Meebo; PollDaddy; PicApp, JS-Kit and Kwanzoo. GlamTV, a signature application on the Glam Apps platform, features video content from select media partners including Cinelan, Diagonal View and Young Hollywood. Your application could be next . . .
