Hostway (www.hostway.com), a provider of Web hosting and managed services, announced the launch of a novel desktop application that automatically delivers relevant information from various sources based on the context of users' work.

"Hostway is continuously updating its product offerings to provide
cutting-edge technology that addresses customers' business needs, so we are thrilled to be the first Web hosting provider to offer Watson 2.0 as an
innovative desktop application that brings information to users," said John
Lee, vice president of marketing at Hostway.

Hostway has partnered with Intellext(TM) (www.intellext.com ), the "Intelligence in Context" software company, to offer this unique tool, Watson 2.0, to both existing customers and site visitors.

Watson 2.0 http://www.hostway.com/smb/watson proactively delivers relevant, real-time information to users
by using the very words and phrases that are typed into documents to actively
query search engines, blogs, desktop search tools, news sites, subscription-
based sources, and even corporate content and knowledge management systems.

There's no need for users to interrupt their work by typing search words or
visiting separate Web sites and search boxes. Instead, Watson delivers search results to users' desktops in an intuitive sidebar while they work in
Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer and Firefox.

"Think of Watson 2.0 as your own personal research assistant that brings
you the information you need from an abundance of sources," said Al
Wasserberger, chief executive officer of Intellext.
