Press Release Body = New York, NY, 11/28/2005 - The free discussion forums at
snarkish.com are celebrating their first birthday by awarding an iPod nano in their
\"Type for Tiunes\" contest. Forum members who post trenchant, compelling messages
between Nov. 28 and Dec. 4th are eligible to win.



Snarkish.com - the free grown-up discussion forums for people with their clothes on
- is celebrating its first anniversary by giving a free iPod nano to a new or
current forum member who posts at least one interesting, creative, and relevant
message in any of the 20 Snarkish.com forums during the week beginning November 28
and ending December 4. The winner will be drawn randomly from all eligible entries.

The contest is part of a membership drive being held in connection with the Snarkish
anniversary. To participate, entrants must sign up for their free membership, or log
in to their current account, and post a message that is substantive and relevant to
the forum they choose. Entries can be news topics or replies to existing online
topics. Quality, not quantity, is what counts.

Binky explains, \"This contest will attract new members who\'ll provide fresh
viewpoints and the current members get a chance for the nano. As a bonus, we
introduce the new members to a forum where they aren\'t plagued by tweenagers with
surging hormones and pulsating emoticons.\"

Snarkish is a collection of reviews, articles and discussion forums about current
events, entertainment, Mac and Windows support, politics, books, photography, and
more. Snarkish member Jim Nichol says, \"Snarkish forums offer real depth. For
example, the movies we discuss don\'t stop with Harry Potter. We have screenwriters
on board who are familiar with indie, obscure, and foreign movies worth watching.\"
David Bondelevitch, another long-time member, says, \"Snarkish is one of the few
forums on the net where you can communicate with adults about virtually any topic
and get an intelligent response.\"

Binky, a former CompuServe forum manager, founded Snarkish in response to what she
terms the \"AOL-ization\" of CompuServe. Joining her are former MAUG members Alan
August, David Ramsey, and CompuServe\'s Showbiz forum staffer Nicholas D\'Amato.

Entries will be judged by forum staffers Binky, Alan August, Steve Lee, Howard
Oakley, and Nicholas D\'Amato. Complete contest details are found at
