Widget Studio in Telligent Community 9.1 adds support for autocompletion and documentation improvements, immediate evaluation, global search, and more.

Introducing the Telligent Community REST SDK. The Telligent Community SDK provides a quick and easy way for .NET developers to integrate third party sites with Telligent Community or to simply interact with your community data outside of the community site itself.

When we launched the new telligent.com site we started with WordPress. It was an easy way to get a site up and running.
