From the Sprout Site:

SproutBuilder ( http://sproutbuilder.com/ ) is the quick and easy way for anyone to build, publish, and manage widgets, mini-sites, mashups, banners and more. Any size, any number of pages. Include video, audio, images and newsfeeds and choose from dozens of pre-built components and web services.

SproutBuilder is an online application that let you build a little java code you can stick in your website. It is one of those quick fix tools that comes in handy. I have stuck a sprout inside tiki and it seems to work fine.
