FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LULLABOT USES DRUPAL TO ENHANCE MTV.CO.UK

Lullabot also responsible for user front-end experience on
MTV's newest online destination mtvflux.co.uk

London - August 21, 2006 - Lullabot (www.lullabot.com) has partnered with MTV Networks UK & Ireland to provide back-end support and management to the newly updated mtv.co.uk consumer website. Using Drupal technology the site will continue to host news and information for all of MTV UK's current broadcast channels but will provide an enhanced user experience through use of Drupal's community ready core functionality.

In addition Lullabot will also enable the site to act as the user front-end for MTV UK's new multi-platform channel called "MTV Flux", again using Drupal technology, enabling viewers to interact with MTV and each other.

Angel Gambino, VP Commercial Strategy & Digital Media, MTV Networks UK & Ireland, said "Our users now have the ability to create and upload content to mtvflux.co.uk that will also be showcased on the broadcast channel. Drupal's social networking capabilities make it a good match for our local development team's needs and the software's extensibility has allowed the creation of modules to interact with our on-air systems as well as SMS mobile and Flash-based interactive systems."

The Lullabot team worked with the MTV UK Digital Media design and development teams as well as designs from Preloaded (www.preloaded.com), to architect and develop a future-proof Drupal installation that is easily expandable and upgradeable. Drupal was chosen for its flexible and well-tested API, wealth of contributed modules, and thriving developer base, as well as Drupal's community-ready core functionality. The new system greatly improves the content input process for MTV UK's production department and provides separate role-based user permissions for site administrators, editors, content-moderators and normal users.

The mtv.co.uk site will run Drupal version 4.7 with patches that Lullabot has contributed to the next release of Drupal due this fall. It makes heavy use of the Content Construction Kit modules, as well as Image, Buddylist, PrivateMsg, Views, VotingAPI, Webform and others. The site also makes extensive use of Drupal's taxonomy system, allowing free-tagging of most content, classifications by on-air channel and RSS feeds for most listings on the site.
