Press Release Body: DigaWorks Corporation, an interactive online solutions provider
for organizations nationwide, has recently won Adobe's popular "Adobe Site of the
Day" award for its In Your Kitchen (www.inyourkitchen.com) website development
project. Adobe recognizes websites based on their use of strong visual designs,
superior functionality, and innovative uses of Adobe products. In the site design,
DigaWorks leveraged the use of Adobe's Dreamweaver, Flash, Flash Player, and
Photoshop. The differentiating factor was the videos displayed on the site, which
were shot in HD and streamed from a Flash Media Streaming Server.

"HD video on the Internet is the next big thing. At this point only some large
companies are utilizing this technology," John Paoletto, Chief Creative Officer for
DigaWorks explains. "This is what makes this site so special. Video has been around
for a while on the Internet, but the use of HD video is pretty new and the delivery
of it takes quite a bit of knowledge and resources."

In Your Kitchen is an all-video cooking website that features gourmet recipes, chef
interviews, industry expert advice, tutorials, and social networking features that
enable visitors to upload their own videos and interact with other cooks. The aim is
to inspire every home cook to get into the kitchen and have fun.

"We're proud of the fact that our site won Adobe's Site of the Day award," says
Managing Editor of In Your Kitchen, Diane Stopford. "This award provides
clarification that the website is very good visually and very easy to navigate,
which, in turn, will generate a lot of traffic for us. It's a wonderful honor."

"We guided the In Your Kitchen staff through the project and advised on the route to
take and the technology to implement," says Partner and Chief Technology Officer for
DigaWorks, Claudia Paoletto. "In the end, the site has become quite popular in its
short time on the web and it's obviously already an award winner that we're very
proud of."

Adobe Site of the Day awards are given out daily to submitted websites. DigaWorks
submitted the In Your Kitchen site about two weeks ago, vying for the award against
a few thousand other sites. Other recent winners include Continental Airlines,
Lincoln, Starbucks, Sony, and other high-profile sites.

"It is such a great honor for DigaWorks to be recognized by Adobe," states Paoletto.
"After years of hard work it feels really good to be recognized by Adobe as an
award-winning developer. Adobe is a staple in our industry. Just about all website
development starts and ends with their tools and software."

As a result of winning the award, Adobe featured the In Your Kitchen site in the
Showcase Section of the Adobe website (www.adobe.com/showcase/) on Monday, May 19,
2008 - and throughout the following weekend.
