[This was merged with the iPod Photo topic]

I recently read an article on Wired.com about a website called freeipods.com. The article talked about how no one believes the website will actually work -- it sounds like a scam. And in fact I had seen and ignored freeipods.com banner ads on other websites.

Well anyway, the Wired.com article explained how the website works, and how big companies are finding that spending millions on free ipods is far more effective than spending millions on tv ads that no one watches. And they talked with many people who had gotten their free ipods from the site. The site is legit and used by a lot of A-list companies to get their offers out there. And wired.com is a pretty trusted news site.

Anyway, I figured I'd sign up for it. Turns out, you have to give them your mailing address, an email address, you have to sign up for a FREE offer for another company (I chose blockbuster video) and then you need to get five other people to sign up as well.

I know, it sounds like a pyramid scam. But read the Wired.com article if you're worried.

So, if you follow the link below to the free ipod website and sign up, you'll help me get my five people. Send me an email if you do, I thank you kindly ... once I've gotten my 5 people signed up I'll remove my link and others can post their reference links ... hopefully we'll get a bunch of free ipods for a bunch of Tiki Central members.

Okay, back to stuffing Shag prints into envelopes ....

Mahalo,
