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

Subject: Your Site
Pat,
After
taking a look at your Web site, we have decided to include it in
the next issue of "The Stick", our monthly Websurfer newsletter.
You can expect to see your Web page listed in the issue that comes
out on the 1st of next month.
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!
If
you'd like to check out past issues of our newsletter online, the
URL is: http://www.vpm.com/tti/stick.html
You
can also visit our home page, Terra IncogNETa, at: http://www.vpm.com/tti/
If
you'd like a small graphic that you can use on your Web page to
indicate that your site has been included in our newsletter, you
can get that from our home page. Of course, not everyone does this,
but you are free to do so if you like.
Thank
you for bringing a touch of excellence to the World Wide Web, and
we hope that you will surf over to our site, too, in the future.

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.
