Twiddla.com Wins Technical Achievement Award at SXSW Festival

(Los Angeles, California), March 17, 2008 - Twiddla, an online collaboration tool
that can be used to host remote meetings and collaborate in real time, announced
today that it won in the "Technical Achievement" category of the South by South West
Interactive Festival (SXSW). The Technical Category recognizes companies for
re-inventing and re-defining the technical parameters of the online experience. The
interactive festival attracted digital creatives as well as visionary technology
entrepreneurs, celebrating the brightest minds of emerging technology.

Twiddla, still in its beta stage, is a Web-based platform that helps distributed
teams meet virtually and collaborate in real time. Twiddla provides tools to create
mark-ups of live Websites, uploaded images, or a blank canvas and offers users an
opportunity to speak with one another, via PhoneFromHere.com. The PhoneFromHere.com
service integrates Voice over IP and Web 2.0, enabling the Webpage to become the
handset for person-to-person and person-to-group verbal communications, within the
context of the Twiddla Website. PhoneFromHere.com is platform/browser agnostic and
does not require the end-user to surrender personal information, use a phone or
download any software.

"Meeting and collaborating online without enlisting a tech support team or needing a
big corporate budget presents challenges. Twiddla eliminates those challenges."
said Ben Satterfield, Twiddla co-Founder. "We are honored to have won the technical
achievement award."

"Twiddla's online collaboration offering provides a great example of how verbal
communications can be integrated into Websites and online communities," said Tim
Panton, Founder and CEO, PhoneFromHere.com. "Twiddla has been a great partner in
working to provide these verbal communications services in a way that is relevant to
its user base."

Winners of the SXSW awards were announced Monday, March 10th, culminating five days
of events which included exciting panel content and amazing parties.

"We are honored to have won the technical achievement award for helping to expand
the boundaries of what can be done on the Web," said Jason Kester, Co-founder of
Twiddla.
