Today We Release Tattler, What Is It? Why Is It Unique?

Jeff:

No-chat-Tattler Today we are releasing our first publicly available open source version of Tattler on Drupal.org. Tattler is a way to monitor topics you are interested in and learn who is talking about them, where, when and how.

Tattler might be used by a researcher, journalist, blogger, technology analyst, or PR specialist or anyone looking for a better way to research on the web. In other words, Tattler is for those that don't just listen to, but help shape the public policy debate - either with coverage or research. So what is unique about Tattler?

Our 3 guests included two CTOs for major online news organizations and a semantic web author and technology expert. I was really looking forward to this and was not let down at the caliber of knowledge these guys brought to the table (literally).
