Press Release Summary: "Flush of the Year" Contest Lets Area Residents Rate the City's Best -- and Worst -- Toilets
Press Release Body: MINNEAPOLIS - August 6, 2008 - Minneapolis residents are off and running to find the cleanest and dirtiest restrooms in the city. MizPee (www.MizPee.com), a free mobile service that helps people on the go find the nearest available restroom no matter when nature calls, kicks off its month-long "Flush of the Year" contest today. Area residents can cast their votes for the best and worst restrooms in Minneapolis by adding and rating their most memorable flushes at www.flushoftheyear.com. The contest runs until midnight August 31, 2008.
The award-winning MizPee service, developed by Yojo Mobile (www.yojomobile.com), lets people on the go enter their location on their mobile browser to retrieve a list of nearby toilets and details of their conditions and amenities. MizPee tells users if the facilities are handicap accessible, whether or not there are diaper-changing stations, and if the toilet is designated for public use or restricted to customers only. Users who have visited specific restrooms and experienced conditions first-hand can enter their reviews on the www.mizpee.com website.
Results of MizPee's Minneapolis Flush of the Year contest will be announced the first week of September. The restroom with the most positive ratings at the close of the contest will be honored with an award to display at their facility or on their website-and bragging rites among area establishments. Yojo Mobile will also donate $1 for each unique vote on behalf of the winner to the Minnesota chapter of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (http://ccfaminnesota.com/).
Since the introduction of the MizPee beta site in June 2007, the site has had more than 3 million hits and has served over 300,000 unique users.
