SeeqPod Releases ‘HollaWalla’ Interactive, OpenSocial Compatible Widget at South By Southwest Music Conference
SeeqPod Inc, the ‘Playable Search’ company, today announced the introduction of its HollaWalla music wall widget. The new widget allows fans, bloggers, events producers, bands, and labels anywhere to search for audio results, build a playlist and share it with friends or fans via email, a social network profile, any blog or Website. Developed in-house, by SeeqPod’s team of developers, the widget enables people to make comments on each “Holla” (search result) on the “Walla” (playlist), adding a dimension of personalization through interactive, real-time conversation within the HollaWalla application.
“Each day we hear from our users that they want to be able to interact with their search results easily and readily,” said Kasian Franks, co-founder and CEO, Seeqpod Inc. “If you have ever been at an event or party and wanted to create a playlist that captures that very moment — HollaWalla is a means for self-expression for a blog, social network page, or Website.”

ABOUT SEEQPOD
In 2005, Kasian Franks, Raf Podowski, and Shekhar Lodha evolved SeeqPod from a breakthrough among genomic biologists sifting through complicated, dense data at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory — a leader in the use of integrated computing as a discovery tool. SeeqPod was built with the social networking mobile generation in mind, and we provide users with an array of easy to use tools to playlist, share, embed, and purchase results, as well as iPhone and iPod Touch compatibility. From video to audio, slideshows, and Adobe Flash, the vast multitude of rich media files and applications that exist online can now easily be found and played using the Adobe Flash Player at www.SeeqPod.com. SeeqPod is the most satisfying way to find, discover, play, and enjoy ‘Playable Search.’
