Gigya Wins AlwaysOn OnHollywood 100 Top Private Company Award

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - June 3, 2008) - Gigya, the leading widget and social technologies company, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the 2008 OnHollywood 100 Top Private Companies. Rooly Eliezerov, President & Co-Founder of Gigya, will be demonstrating Gigya's technologies at the "Socializing Online Entertainment Demo Competition" on June 10th at the OnHollywood conference. The OnHollywood 100 is a power list of the top private emerging technology companies in digital entertainment and media. Gigya was handpicked by the AlwaysOn editorial team based on a set of five criteria -- innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media buzz and investor value creation.

Gigya, along with the rest of the OnHollywood 100 will be honored at the OnHollywood & BRiM event on June 10-11, 2008 at the Sofitel Hotel in West Hollywood, California. OnHollywood gathers executives from both the entertainment and the technology industries to identify and debate emerging trends in addition to building relationships and taking advantage of potential new business partnerships. The first annual Broadband Rights Marketplace (BRiM) will launch an online network that supports new creative projects and offers a digital-rights exchange and auction.

"This year's OnHollywood 100 represents the brightest of the innovators in the new media space. We are enthusiastic about gathering the leaders in a collaborative environment that fuses these two industries together, culminating in the richest, most progressive conversations on Hollywood's digital movement," said Tony Perkins, founder and CEO of AlwaysOn.

The OnHollywood 100 was selected from more than 1000 companies, peer-nominated by leading venture capitalists, investment bankers and industry analysts.

Gigya recently announced the launch of Gigya Socialize, a technology that offers website owners the tools to easily implement popular features found on social network sites. Gigya Socialize helps users connect and interact with friends, discover and share website content, and see what friends are doing via a newsfeed. Gigya Socialize also gives site owners a choice: implement plug and play components or access the Open API for complete control.

"We are honored to receive the OnHollywood 100 Top Private Company Award," stated Rooly Eliezerov, President and Co-Founder of Gigya. "While our innovative widget distribution technology brings content to social networks, Gigya Socialize brings social networks directly to the content that already exists on the Internet. Our widget technology reaches more than 120 million unique widget users, and our offerings will truly revolutionize how users find, share and interact with content online."
