POINTLESS COMMUNICATIONS CORP. ANNOUNCES COVETED "BOTTOM 95% OF THE
WEB" AWARDS
 
Santa Barbara, CA.: Pointless Communications Corporation today
announced the presentation of its first annual "Bottom 95% of All Web
Sites" awards. Designed to recognize the efforts and creative talent
of the vast majority of World Wide Web authors, the awards are
presented to the select sites on the global computer network, known as
the Internet, that Pointless Communications' dedicated staff of
reviewers have ranked among the bottom 95% of all the hundreds of the
thousands of sites around the globe.
 
Sites that are granted the coveted award are permitted to display the
Pointless Communications logo on their sites. In order to make the
process of obtaining their due recognition even easier for
"Webmeisters," Pointless has instituted an innovative new program it
calls the Self-Service Rating System. Using the system, web page
authors can rate their own sites, and if they feel their work is
deserving of the prestigious award, navigate to Pointless
Communications Corp.'s site on the Internet and download the logo
themselves. 
The Web address is http://www.silcom.com/~tonkin/pointless.
 
Pointless Communications Corp. Is a subsidiary of Tonkin Resolutions
and POCHO Productions, two southern California communications firms. A
spokesperson for the firm said of the new awards, "It's about time
true mediocrity in cyberspace got its just rewards. We're glad to put
our name and reputation behind this new rating system, and look
forward to its acceptance around the Internet, so that surfers' can
see at a glance the true caliber of the sites they are visiting."
