Snarkish.com marks anniversary with "Type for Tunes" iPod Nano giveaway
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 http://snarkish.com.
About the author:
Binky Melnik has been managing online forums for 17 years, and
last year broke off her relationship with CompuServe/AOL to
start up her own forums at snarkish.com. Not having the
albatross of corporate restraints around her neck, the forums
are flourishing after a year.
