The Startup Incubator

 

Flash widgets are an integral part of what we call "Viral Development Marketing." While we can of course develop you anything from a flash site to a rich internet application developed in Adobe Flex, we specialize in building flash widgets that serve a precise marketing purpose for your website. To understand what we are talking about, let's take a look at Youtube and how their Flash Video Player Widget helped them to become so popular. First, let's take a step by step look at how end-users interact with the flash video player widget:

1) They watch a video on Youtube.com
2) They like it, they copy and paste the html embed code for it into their Myspace, Hi5, etc, profile
3) Their friends watch and enjoy the video on their profile (as opposed to on Youtube, itself)
4) They become interested in Youtube, and click a link on this flash player linking to Youtube's actual site

Featured Project:
Organic Incentive.com

Organic Incentive.com provides flex tools so users with absolutely no programming experience can create viral widgets. All you do is enter the URL of your flash widget, and drag and drop a "share" button on to it, customize it, and customize the popup with all the share options that appears when your users click "share."

The utility is obvious: by offering a component that can be placed outside of your site, you are able to get links to your site. However, it gets better: with sharing technology we can let users view the widget on a friends "Myspace" page, and click a "share" button right there that let's the user copy and paste the widget on to THEIR website, profile or blog without even going to Youtube. Initially, you might say "Hey, but this defeats the purpose because this person didn't end up going to the Youtube site to watch the video and maybe copy and paste the code from there!" But the point is that this person will have many people checking out their site in the coming days, AND THESE PEOPLE will possibly visit Youtube. The result is potential for multiple visits vs. just one visitation.

Ok ok I get it. So what are you selling me on? Well, we built Open Source drag-n-drop software to put these "Share" buttons on any flash players you may create! This is Organic Incentive.com. With this tool, you can fully customize the Share button and all the resulting sharing tools. What do these tools do exactly? Well, they popup up the html embed code to copy and paste it, they provide forms to email it to a friend, and the provide forms to type in your user name and password and AUTOMATICALLY embed to your social network of choice, saving you the thousands of dollars it would take to code all this.

Awesome, so how do I get a flash widget for my site in the first place? Answer = we develop it for you. In the future, our system at Organic Incentive.com will provide even more flash tools to actually create the whole widget there! You can see a few in the Demo section of the the "Widget Editor." Go to the "Trial" Tab, login, then go to the "Widget Editor," and in the right column you will see we have customizeable chat and video player tools.

For now, we'd be happy to deliver you world class widgets of all kinds: chat room, video players, slideshows, commenting systems, music players, forms, etc. Where we truly excel is in plugging our flash widgets into video section of your social network, making it so users can generate their own video players, or music players, and slideshow players as well. We can even provide tools for your users to customize their own flash widgets. With all the technologies we've prepared for Organic Incentive.com, we are ready to deploy forms or drag-n-drop tools for users to build and customize their own widgets on their site. For instance, say that you have a branded chatroom you want to offer your users that they can embed on their own sites--we'll deploy our customization tools to allow them to pick the style, colors, text, etc of the widget, in order for them to make it match their profile on Bebo, Friendster, etc.

As Viral Development Marketing experts, we'd love to develop you something that auto-markets itself and your site today!
