Press Release Body = Niwot, CO - February 21, 2006 ---- With the world's best known
Reality TV show, American Idol, opening their voting lines to the public there are
now more choices to start casting votes for America's next great singing idol.

In January the guys over at Niwot Data LLC released their first product called
TalentVoterTM. This is a computer program that lets the user rate contestants in
reality shows in six programmable categories. Additionally, if the show allows
dial-in voting and the user's computer is equipped with a dial-up modem, the votes
can be automatically dialed. Now the company has expanded their offering with two
additional products. TalentVoter is now available in Spanish, and there is a new
version, called TalentVoter LE.

TalentVoter LE is an entry-level version that only requires three things from users;
a telephone number, the number of times they want to call the show, and a mouse
click of a Dial button. This no-frills compact version is available for immediate
downloading. As explained by one of the company's managing partners, Sam
Northington, "We wanted to give our users the option of having a simple way of
voting, if they just wanted to go with their gut feeling about a performer, and
really just wanted something to help them push the redial button."

When asked about the Spanish version of TalentVoter, Mr. Northington said, "The
American Idol and Reality TV phenomenon has spread around the globe. Although we
are working on an international version, we set a priority to make this Spanish
version available first in the US to accommodate the folks here who still prefer
their entertainment delivered in Spanish."

When asked about future plans, Mr. Northington stated, "We're dedicated to this
technology, and will continue to offer innovative products to expand it and to
enhance the viewer's experience. We also recently arranged for all production to be
in a high-volume automated facility in Colorado instead of getting items from other
states, which enabled us to provide a price reduction from our initial release."

The full version of English or Spanish TalentVoter, for Windows 98, ME, 2000, and
XP, is available on a CD, for $19.95. The limited version, TalentVoter LE, for
Windows ME, 2000, and XP, is available by download for $9.95.
