We introduced the world of social solution development to the concept of reusable components years ago, and now we’re profiling some of the most popular components on the Stuzo technology platform in a new weekly series. For more background on the Stuzo social technology platform and our reusable components, check out Stuzo Social: Reusable Components on our Insights Blog.
The below Stuzo Social Components are built specifically to help brands tell stories with aggregated, curated social data – be it a content stream using a hashtag or an interactive display or carousel.
YouTube Carousel Component
By incorporating the YouTube Carousel Component into your experience, youʼll have a rich, interactive way to feature video content, either uploaded to a public or private YouTube channel by the brand, or uploaded by users and pre- or post-live moderated through our platform.
In solutions where user generated content – specifically video – is featured, the YouTube Carousel Component becomes an efficient and effective way to display content for interactivity and engagement within an experience. Users can activate, play, and share video content, and cycle through groups or sets of videos, as determined by the brand.
Twitter Stream Component
The Twitter Stream Component pulls tweets into a custom experience either via @userhandle or #hashtag, as determined by the brand. If your social + mobile experience is looking to engage the Twittersphere, then youʼll likely want to display the engagement taking place organically on that platform within your experience.
Twitter display and functional requirements are strict, which makes this Component straightforward in the nature of its front-end functionality; however, the look and feel can be whatever your team comes up with, visually speaking.
Instagram Stream Component
The Instagram Stream Component pulls photos and video into a custom experience either via @userhandle or #hashtag, as determined by the brand. When incorporating Instagram organically into your campaign or solution, youʼll likely want to display the rich imagery that users are submitting, wrapped by brand creative.
This reusable component allows you to aggregate and display Instagram pictures and video submitted by users with interactive visualization options, and with social sharing functionality already incorporated. Content can also be pre- or post-live moderated through the Stuzo platform, depending on brand preference.
Foursquare Visualization Component
Our Foursquare Visualizer Component enables a brand to display timestamped checkins and tips at specific venues, or register and display checkins by a specific user over a set time duration. Foursquare is a key social platform for many retailer, entertainment, and travel businesses, among others, and our Foursquare Visualizer Component enables brands to display engagement with their physical locations in compelling and interactive ways.
By enabling the component to either display data based on location or based on user, the potential uses are broad and flexible. Brands can also take the Foursquare data and layer in additional game mechanics and functionality unique to the specific campaign or solution.
