Ostensibly, The Register, although I'd guess it was actually paid for by
IBM, since they seem to have the results before everyone else:

Cattail is a web site where IBMers can upload files and share them with
their colleagues. It was designed to provide significant advantages over
email when doing "ad-hoc" sharing of files. When you share a file with
someone, Cattail sends the recipient an email. If you upload a new
version of a given file, Cattail will inform all of the past recipients
of a file that a new version is available for upload.

Looks like Rex posted a link to an Intranet page internal to IBM.
