Snarkish.com Marks Anniversary with 'Type for Tunes' iPod Nano Giveaway
Post pertinent forum messages Nov. 28 to Dec. 11 for a chance to win.
New York, NY (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) November 28, 2005 -- 
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.
