Press Release Summary = The site\'s goal is to collect one million New Year\'s
Resolutions from people all over the world," said Jeff Angle, developer and owner of
One Million Resolutions. "Everybody who clicks on the site can add their resolutions
anonymously and read all of the other resolutions that other people have added."

Press Release Body = One Million Resolutions is making its début this Fall, a new
website that puts your New Year's Resolutions to work for you. The site reminds us
it's time to start thinking about resolutions - new ones for the upcoming year plus
old ones made last year. And the technique it uses is viral marketing, similar to
word-of-mouth advertising, but online.

"The site\'s goal is to collect one million New Year\'s Resolutions from people all
over the world," said Jeff Angle, developer and owner of One Million Resolutions.
"Everybody who clicks on the site can add their resolutions anonymously and read all
of the other resolutions that other people have added."

Once you click on the new website, you see the big question, "What Is Your New
Year\'s Resolution?" along with a countdown of how many resolutions are tallied so
far out of 1,000,000 in red lettering, plus a column of resolutions people have
entered to date, counting backwards. You simply key in your resolution in text,
then click the button that says, "Anonymously Add Your Resolution to the
Collection."

After submitting, you immediately are directed to a page with a link of your
resolution as a reminder all year long. You can use the link on your own website, to
share, to save in a private file page or email, etc.

Then you can choose one of two optional links; Tell-A-Friend or Start Reading the
Collection of Resolutions. By reading resolutions of others, you can gain insight
into success tips and human courage - and some silliness. And the sharing with a
friend script is an outreach throughout the worldwide community to help increase the
resolution-making and keeping awareness through a self-replicating viral process.

\"I know that I make New Year\'s Resolutions every year," said Jeff. "And I never keep
them. And I know that there are probably millions of other people out there that do
the same thing. But then I had this idea... If we could get one million people to
come together, publicly announce their resolutions, and help each other to stay
focused, then maybe we can all finally achieve our New Year\'s Goals, for the first
time.\"

Jeff is correct; the statistics below tell it all.


New Year's Resolution Stats*

An estimated 40 to 45% of American adults make one or more resolutions annually. Of
these resolutions, here are the percentages that are maintained throughout the year:

- After the first week: 75%
- After 2 weeks: 71%
- Beyond one month: 64%
- Beyond 6 months: 46%

Among New Years Resolutions for 2006, survey results reported:

- Approximately 34% said their resolutions were related to their wallet
- Approximately 38% said their resolutions were related to their waistline
- Approximately 47% said their resolutions were related to their head i.e. a
self-improvement type goal
- Approximately 31% said their resolutions were related to their heart (relationship
/ dating goals).

"I believe that this site has a very mass appeal and with its viral nature, it could
become a very popular \"fad\" site," explained Jeff. "In addition, every person who
submits gets a personalized link to their resolution, and an email template that
they can use to tell
their friends and family about their resolution for the New Year."
