"Insider" Network Enters Third Year In San Francisco

 (March 8, 1999) -- Looking for "insider" tips about what to do while you
are in San Francisco?  Thanks to The San Francisco Insider, a "cyber-zine"
entering its third year serving San Francisco, the information you need is
just a mouse click away.  The wealth of data in The San Francisco Insider,
like that of the Insider publications covering New York, Boston, and Hawaii,
is offered free of charge to anyone with access to the Internet.  The four
advertiser-supported publications can be accessed via a common national home
page (http://www.TheInsider.com) and  The San Francisco Insider can be
accessed directly at http://www.TheInsider.com/SF/

"Our editorial mission is to provide our readers with the 'insider' tips
that will enable them to make the most of their time in San Francisco,
without going broke in the process," said Editor, Vicky Franzese. "All of
our articles offer hints and advice derived from our own research and
collected from our network of San Francisco veterans.  Each article provides
information that may not be widely known, but which can be very valuable to
our readers," added Franzese.

This method of developing unique content based on practical experience is
the hallmark of Danvic Publications, Inc., the company that produces The
Insider Network.  "There are a number of travel guides on the Web," noted
Franzese, "but few, if any, offer the level of personal recommendations and
insights that our writers provide. We tell you the best places to go and we
advise you on the places it is best to avoid.  The readers of The San
Francisco Insider have indicated that they really appreciate our
pull-no-punches approach, and this format has made our publication a great
success."  The Insider Network has nearly 200,000 regular readers.

The San Francisco Insider offers a substantial database of original articles
and photos grouped in the following categories:

Sights and Attractions: descriptions and reviews of all the top sights and
attractions in San Francisco, with extensive links to the Insider�s online
photo collection.

Photo Collection: Dozens of original photos taken expressly for The San
Francisco Insider.

Tips and Ideas: advice on a variety of topics such as surviving the rental
car experience, a guide to free museums, how much to tip waiters, bellhops,
etc, and much more!

Hotel Guide:  Book a discount hotel room in San Francisco (or anywhere!)


Another feature of The San Francisco Insider is The Insider Tip
Exchange(sm), a series of electronic bulletin boards connected to each
article.  The Tip Exchange serves as an interactive clearing-house for tips
collected from The San Francisco Insider's network of San Francisco veterans
and readers by linking each article to its own �tip folder.� Readers can use
these folders to add comments and suggestions related to each article and to
check out the responses and tips posted by other readers.  The Insider Tip
Exchange adds an exciting dimension to The San Francisco Insider and makes
it a dynamic, ever-growing resource for visitors to San Francisco.

Danvic Publications is a small, but energetic, Internet content provider
based in New York's "Silicon Alley."   The Insider Network covers San
Francisco, Hawaii, New York City, and Boston. Further expansion may be in
the cards as well:  "Our readers have responded very positively to the
Insider format and often write to us directly to request that we set up
Insider publications covering other locations,� commented Franzese. "There
clearly is strong demand for the kind of in-depth regional information we
provide," she concluded.
