Sure it all seems sort of unlikely, but it appears to be working.
Here's the deal: A site called freeipods.com has started giving away free iPods. You have to sign up and then complete one of their referral offers, which obviously gives them a kickback, and then get 5 friends to complete offers and voila! Free iPod.
The easiest offer is for Ancestry.com, a geneology website. You have to provide a credit card, but you can cancel in the first week or two and never be charged.
If you feel like giving it a whirl, please click my referral link. Thanks.
Oh, and the guys over at GearLive have set up a bulleting board for people to post their referral links, thus increasing your circle of "friends" exponentially. The board is here.
As you were.
