ALEXANDRIA, VA--(Marketwire - August 27, 2009) - Phase2 Technology announced today the Beta
launch of Tattler (app), a powerful tool to uncover and track information
from news publications, blogs, and social media outlets including Twitter.
Using semantic web technologies, Tattler mines the Internet for mentions of
the topics a user chooses.
A key group of news and social media thought-leaders will begin use of
Tattler this week, and downloads of source code will be available to the
public in late September 2009.

alerts and more information on the public release.
"Enthusiasm about Tattler has been overwhelming, and we are working hard to
incorporate feedback and ideas into the public launch," stated Irakli
Nadareishveli, Director of Product Development at Phase2.
Tattler is a powerful tool for the news and information industries. It
allows users to find key opinions from citizens and thought-leaders and
determine what is driving topical buzz and trends. Built and distributed
on the popular open source content management platform, Drupal, Tattler's
toolset of intelligent content processors allow users to easily filter,
organize, and take action on content gathered from the web.
"We feel Tattler pushes topic-monitoring forward because it is a community
project that has the potential to put Drupal and open-source technology in
front of more people," said Jeff Walpole, CEO, Phase2 Technology. "Like our
other projects, we will release this code back to the Drupal community and
hope others will participate in its development."
