You may have noticed something new on Social Media Today and on all the sites in our network--social login via Gigya.
At SMT, we're always looking for ways to make it easier for our visitors to become members of our community and to take full advantage of the opportunities for interaction here. Now you can jumpstart account creation by signing up via your favorite social networks and enjoy one-click login thereafter.
But really this is just step one for a feature expansion that will allow you to more easily share the content you read and create, to tap into your friends' activity on our sites, to find others here with interests similar to yours, and to make it easier for them to find you.
We also want to extend a big thank you to our friends at Gigya for making the integration of their product a fast and painless process. Their support for us has been sterling from the moment we reached out to them until deployment, including assigning a project manager (thanks Ghia!) who acted as a client advocate and offering us access to their technical team if we needed it. Which we didn't. Because in Gigya we found a product that's brilliantly designed, well-exercised, and packaged for easy integration even with our customized platform.
So we couldn't be happier to call Gigya a Social Media Today partner. In the months ahead we'll let you know how Gigya is working on our communities and keep you apprised as we release new features that Gigya helps to support. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]!
