Kaazing and Outbid announced today that Kaazing WebSocket Server HTML5 Edition 3.5 is powering Outbid’s real-time bidding and live chat of the online auction service on outbid.com. Read the press release.
Outbid is the next generation of online auctions for the web and mobile. It combines the theater and transparency of live event auctions with the best of what the web can offer, including accessibility, global reach, convenience, and compelling social and gaming interactivity. Similar to a live offline auction, Outbid recreates the traditional auction experience by combining an auctioneer chosen by the seller with bidders who meet in a lobby to mingle, review auction items, chat, and either join or simply watch as the action unfolds.
