Vlingo Recognized as One of the Area's "Best Places to Work" by the Boston Business Journal

CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwire - June 10, 2008) - The Boston Business Journal today recognized vlingo as one of the greater Boston area's "Best Places to Work" when it announced its annual ranking of 60 small, midsized and large companies that are considered the best places to work based on survey responses from employees of the nominated companies. Vlingo and staff were honored at an awards breakfast this morning.

"Being recognized by the Boston Business Journal as one of the 'Best Places to Work' is a distinct honor for a company like vlingo," said Dave Grannan, CEO, vlingo. "We launched our beta service last summer and since then, our momentum has been made possible by our employees' hard work and dedication. Vlingo is now live as the voice power for Yahoo! oneSearch™, with much more to come over the next six months. We could not have achieved this without the people on the ground, making it happen each and every day."

"This is one of our most popular events because it focuses on both employer and employees," said Michael Olivieri, publisher of the Boston Business Journal. "We have found that achieving the title of 'Best Place to Work' is something companies are very proud to achieve because it shows they care about their most important asset -- their employees."

The "Best Places to Work" ranking is based on surveys completed by a substantial number of employees at each nominated company. The surveys ask questions related to work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, compensation and benefits. This year's top ranking firms were chosen from 392 nominations -- a record number of submissions in the six-year history of the Best Places to Work. Companies are grouped based on their number of employees, as large (more than 500 employees), midsize (101-500 local employees) and small (20-100 local employees).
