Press Release Summary: MizPee’s “Flush of the Year” Contest Lets People on the Go Rate the City’s Best -- and Most Disgusting -- Toilets
Press Release Body: San Francisco – September 2, 2008 – Bay area residents are off and running to find the cleanest and filthiest bathrooms in the city. MizPee, a free mobile service that helps people on the go find the nearest available restroom, kicks off its month-long “Flush of the Year” contest today. Area residents, along with visitors flooding the city for popular September conferences like CTIA and TechCrunch50 can add and review their most memorable flushes, or cast their votes for the current leaders, at www.flushoftheyear.com.
The award-winning MizPee service, developed by Yojo Mobile, delivers a list of nearby toilets with their levels of cleanliness, when people enter their location into their mobile browser. Facility details, including purchase requirements, diaper-changing amenities and handicap accessibility are also provided. Users who have visited specific restrooms and experienced conditions first-hand can enter their reviews on the www.mizpee.com website.
To put power in every flush, Yojo Mobile is donating $1.00 for each unique restroom vote to Alex\'s Lemonade Stand Foundation, which helps bring life changing and life saving treatments to children with cancer. The contest runs until midnight September 30, 2008.
Results of MizPee’s San Francisco’s “Flush of the Year” contest will be announced the week of October 6, 2008. The restroom with the highest ratings will receive an award to display at their facility or on their website—and bragging rites among area establishments.
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.
