Coming Soon: Tandif.com

Coming soon Tandif.com, a local service that provides facilities and the moderation filter digital content automatically.

Tandif, as described by Mr Ahmad Fathi Hadi (founder) actually should be named Tandif Moderation Ultimate Service. The service came when Fathi decided to quit his job and start focusing his research. Then he found an idea of doing research in the filtering field, and after more than one year Tandif is ready to be launched to the public.

Mr Ahmad Fathi had explained, "This is the core essence of Tandif filtering technology for centralizing and continuously maintaining as well as enhancing. The core of this technology can be utilized for many things. Tandif is capable of filtering/moderating many things such as websites, blogs, forums, chat, email, online games, even sms/mms."

Currently Tandif is preparing to open their services. Tandif will provide an API that can be used by anyone and do plugin for some CMS like WordPress, Joomla or Drupal. This API will be also updated, users can do a free registration and it will get the API Key from Tandif site.

I haven't been given access to Tandif services, but Fathi explains that the core technologies are prepared and it will be able to check and clean the input. Fathi called it "a check and sanitize method". Further he explained, "Check is perfect for websites because it detects directly in the block, while Sanitize is suitable for chat as it would replace things that are detected to be an example character."

Tandif won't only provide free service facilities (i.e license/service), but also a paid service. In addition to blogs and websites that will be given free service, Tandif is also targeting medium to large-scale costumers, such as governments, corporations, public figures, school and it will continue expanding in some sectors.

Fathi also added, "Tandif also can be implemented to block sms with a particular topic or from a particular number. To support this we are doing negotiation to work with the operator."

Currently Tandif is still managed independently but Fathi explained that there are existing investors who are interested to work with Tandif.

As written by Fathi via email, Tandif does the things what WordPress Akismet plugin did. However Akismet is focusing on spam filter while Tandif is filtering topic and even the domain.

As I mentioned above, I haven't tried this service and it is quite intrigued looking at the technology and facilities that will be provided. Fathi said that Tandif will soon be launched, for now, the website only provides a subscribe page to get Tandif release information. So, let’s wait for their official release.
