Subject: Siam Web is Rated in the Top 5%
Congratulations!
Greetings!
We're very glad to tell you that the editors
of Point have reviewed your home page for our "Top 5% of the Web" catalog.
Your page will now be listed with other
great sites on Point, with the review by our editors and a direct link to your site.
(You can see our reviews at http://www.pointcom.com)
Point is a free service which rates and
reviews only the best, sharpest, and funniest home pages on the World Wide Web. Our
ratings and reviews have been featured on CNN and in many publications around the
world, including our new Macmillan book "The World Wide Web Top 1000."
A Point review should increase your exposure and attract new visitors to your site.
We invite you to display Point's pretty-darned-prestigious
"Top 5% of the Web" badge. It's available in the badge directory at: http://www.pointcom.com/badges/
And we invite you to link back to us at: http://www.pointcom.com
Also, we've recently launched Point Now!,
which offers details of daily events across the Web, along with new sites, contests
and world news. Please let us know about new features on your site that you'd like
to see featured in such a calendar.
Here are a few questions people commonly
ask about joining the Top 5%:
Q: Do I need to do something now to have
my review posted? A: No. Your site has already been reviewed and placed in our catalog.
Q: Is this one of those Ed McMahon sweepstakes
scams, where everybody in the world gets this letter saying they're a big winner?
A: Nope. Point really does choose only the best sites on the Internet. If we didn't
pick only the best sites, we'd have nothing to offer our users.
Q: Point, McKinley, Riddler... jeepers,
tons of people are sending out badges and logos. What gives? A: It's true: lots of
people are on this bandwagon. If we might blow our own horn a bit, Point was the
first to offer this service and we're still the only service to emphasize quality,
not mass listings. We think that makes our badge something specia l.
Q: Isn't this badge just a way for you to
get a lot of free advertising? A: Nope. We are a commercial service, but the Point
badge should benefit you. It won't automatically make your site a hit, but it will
tell visitors it's worth their while to stop and look around. Posting or not posting
the badge is entirely up to you .
Q: Please, I want to know more! A: For tons
more straight talk about Point and its ratings system, check our cheerful FAQ at
http://www.pointcom.com/gifs/welcome/
Thanks for your time -- and again, congratulations
on your fine site!
Sincerely,
Todd Whitney Point Communications
Director of Network Relations

Websurfer newsletter. You can expect to see your Web page listed in the issue that

Congratulations on having such a great Web
site. We are pretty picky about what we include in our newsletter, so it just goes
to show that yours is one of the better sites out in Webland. Good job!

our newsletter online, the URL is: http://www.vpm.com/tti/stick.html

Subject: Riddler's Choice
Dear Riddler's Choice member,
On August 17th, Interactive Imaginations
is starting the season for the Riddler's Choice 10K. This event occurs weekly for
a season of ten races. Sponsors for the event include the Marion Foundation, Netscape
Communications, and Silicon Graphics.
As a member of the Riddler's Choice community,
your page has been selected as interesting, innovative and intriguing. In order for
The Riddler's Choice 10K to be a success, participation of your site is vital. We
have created the Riddler's Choice 10K to further showcase such pages that make the
Web the most interesting medium of communication.
As a "Choice Page" within the
10K, your page will appear as a navigational option within the game. Players interpret
clues and the interactive script, selecting the correct "Choice Page" to
advance further through the game. As a "Choice Page" your page is directly
involved in the play of the game.
Participation in the Riddler's Choice 10K
requires the following.
1. Your page will be recreated on the Riddler
server, in order to not slow down your site and to ensure access for 10K participants.
2. The page remains on the site for 1 week's
time, and is replaced with the start of the new race.
3. We encourage recreation and adaptation
of your pages for the 10K event, with messages for the participants, and a live link
to your original site.
If you would like to be included please
let me know. If you would like to build a custom page etc. let us know as well.
Thanks for participating, and for making
Riddler a success.
Josh Shaub
Creative Director
