Well, I did it. I signed up for the free ipod site. There's an article here saying it is legitimate: http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,64614,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_2 and my friend claims her friend just got his. Anyway, here's my referral link. So if you're gonna sign up for the site anyway, sign up through me. If 10 people sign up for an offer through my name, I get one shipped to me. And lord knows I can't afford an iPod. http://www.freephotoiPods.com/?r=12685873 | ||

But the "offers" are all cheesy things that I have zero interest in. | ||
| flugermongers Citizen Username: Flugermongers Post Number: 299 Registered: 5-2001 |
Right but if you cancel on time, a lot of them are free. | ||
| flugermongers Citizen Username: Flugermongers Post Number: 300 Registered: 5-2001 |
I like your icon, Mergele | ||

Great bit of viral marketing. Just in case, I'd pay close attention to the small print. For example what does "complete" an offer mean? | ||
| flugermongers Citizen Username: Flugermongers Post Number: 301 Registered: 5-2001 |
It means just that... you must complete one of the offerings.. You can cancel it before it costs you anthing, or just take advantage of one of them (I bought thye dvds from columbia house, my friend bought the ink..) they just get cash for sharing your info, I suppose.. look at those asrticles --- i'm the biggest skeptic... and i'm all signed up! | ||

I tried to sign up but each of the offers I tried for in the first step were no 'longer available.' Finally gave up. | ||

Weird I just did it the day before yesterday. Are you using Internet Explorer? | ||

Of course, if someone wants to help me get an ipod....  I only need 5 people to sign up. I'll sign up for fluffermonger's offer... http://www.freeipods.com/default.aspx?referer=pensgirl24@yahoo.com I would be eternally grateful! Edit: I signed up for yours, fluffermonger. One more down! | ||
| flugermongers Citizen Username: Flugermongers Post Number: 304 Registered: 5-2001 |
Cool! Did you sign up for an offer? Ya have to do that part too. I signed up for the DVD one, which isn't bad! I am getting 5 dvds in the mail for like ten dollars, and then I've just got to buy one more. Thanks Starletta! P.S. It's flugermongers, haha but I like your version as well. | ||

this reminds me of the chain letter in which you're supposed to go poop on the lawn of the person several lines up on the list, and send the list to 10 people you know, and after two weeks, 100 people will come poop on your lawn, fertilizing it forever. what a stitch! | ||
| Starletta8 Citizen Username: Starletta8 Post Number: 14 Registered: 10-2004 |
fluffermongers, I just got the email saying that I received credit for completing the offer. Congrats! I'd be very appreciative if you could sign up off of my link... you can sign up for both a regular iPod and a Photo iPod. Compsy, the wierd thing is that this one actually works... | ||
| Just The Aunt Citizen Username: Auntof13 Post Number: 347 Registered: 1-2004 |
Just tried again. All the items I've tried say the offer is unavailable. Tried through Netscape and AOL. | ||

Here's another ipod offer http://www.ipodmyphoto.com/ | ||
| flugermongers Citizen Username: Flugermongers Post Number: 305 Registered: 5-2001 |
I believe it says to view with Explorer. I've also done it with Firefox, and had no problem. |
