REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - April 7, 2009) - Attributor Corporation, provider of
the world's premier Web-wide content
monitoring and monetization platform, today announced that Turner
Broadcasting System, Inc. has selected its video tracking platform to identify Turner-owned video on top video-sharing sites on the Web.
Attributor's platform will continuously monitor the Web for Turner video
content, leveraging its 35 billion-page index and using advanced audio
and visual fingerprinting algorithms to discover instances of Turner-owned
video posted on video-sharing sites.
"The wider online audience consumes content in a huge variety of places and
contexts, and it is important to us to have comprehensive and
comprehensible information about this. Attributor's platform combines video
recognition technology with a Web crawling application we can tailor for
extent and frequency to suit our content and its pattern of
(re)distribution," said Scott Teissler, Chief Technology Officer and Chief
Digital Technology Strategist at Turner Broadcasting. "These capabilities
will help protect our content investment and show the way to new business
opportunities."

the Web. With our technology, they can now know exactly how and where their
videos appear," said Jim Pitkow, Attributor CEO and co-founder. "Our
