Press Release Summary: Coworkers.com has improved its review management capabilities
by allowing users to more easily dispute and exclude unwanted reviews.

Press Release Body: NEW YORK, NY, March 5, 2008 - Coworkers.com announced today that
it has improved its review management capabilities by allowing users to more easily
dispute and exclude unwanted reviews.

"One of the strengths of our review platform is that it allows for the creation of
detailed, and optionally anonymous, reviews. While this offers our users the ability
to give and receive unbiased feedback, it is also open to occasional misuse. Seeking
to better address this, and in listening to feedback from our users, we have
simplified the process for excluding such unwanted reviews from a user's profile."
explains CEO Jonathan Clay. "Should a user receive a review that does not seem
legitimate - for example an anonymous review that seems like 'spam', they can simply
login and "dispute" the review with a single click. After the user enters a reason
(for example, 'erroroneous' or 'excessive'), the review will be excluded from their
profile, and its rating will no longer count toward their aggregate score. In
addition, a user can report a disputed review to Coworkers.com if it appears to
violate our TOS."

Clay goes on to say "since our 'soft launch' (beta release) last year, we have been
listening closely to our early adopters, as well as knowledgeable subject-area
experts, trying to find the right balance between information freedom and protection
against derogatory information in the delicate area of work reputation management.
We believe that we now have a solution that is fair and effective for all parties
concerned. By restricting disputed reviews to premium (paying) members, we are
acknowledging the fact that abuse can occur, and minimizing its impact, without
sacrificing the principle that honest information about people's work histories
should be accessible." Professional reviews are just one of the many workplace
performance tools offered at Coworkers.com. Review a colleague, or request feedback
