Found through Thudfactor, this offer bears some further consideration.

It’s apparently legit, and there are similiar offers for free desktop PCs and flatscreens out there, but I don’t know. A free iPod or new computer sounds great, and a two-week trial subscription to something like Blockbuster’s version of Netflix isn’t a high price to pay. But I’m not sure I can (or want) to convince five other people to join up, too.

According to FreeiPodGuide.com, I would need to “refer 5 friends and have them complete 1 offer each”, but I’m not exactly interested in being referrals for any of them — because I’d then need to sign up for another bunch of trial subscriptions. Are there five people out there willing to be referrals, willing to sign up for subscriptions, if I won’t do the same for them?

Or am I just misunderstanding the whole thing?
