Spread the channel love, create a Kyteroll

Posted by: Ulysses King    Under: Tips | Partners |

The Kyte API is a powerful, easy to use tool that allows you to realize the full potential of the Kyte Platform.  One of the many cool things that you can do with the API is dynamically change channels on your web page to create a “Kyteroll.” Similar to a blogroll, a Kyteroll is a list of Kyte channels that users can watch on your web page — essentially “changing channels” without ever leaving or refreshing the page.

Swiss music label Nation Music, which is using Kyte as the video platform for its social network, features interviews with local Swiss artists and American hip hop stars that are visiting the country, such as Ice Cube, Common, Busta Rhymes and the RZA.  To provide users with additional, relevant content, they created a Kyteroll of channels such as 50 Cent, Raheem DeVaughn, and David Banner. These related channels can be viewed dynamically without having to refresh or be redirected to another page.

This is a great example of how to enhance the viewing experience of your site using the Kyte API.  For more information on how to create a Kyteroll using simple client-side Javascript API calls, click here.
