Despite all of the predictions that were circulating after the NASDAQ crash, the get paid world is
more populated than ever. Even paid surfing has survived (everyone thought that would be the first
to go) in the form of very good programs such as CashGlow, Porivo and and a handful of the
originals.
This is good. It means we can still be your friend. Speaking of which (kinda) did you know that
getpaidtobeonline.net has been online for over 2 years and is the most popular site of its kind
on the net? Really, we've checked.
If you happen to know of a site that comes close in either quality or popularity, please let us
know so that we can sneak up on them at night and throw rocks at their car... And possibly steal
their dog:
http://www.getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/Contact.php
Alright then. In site news... there's a new feature on the recommended services page. It's a
remote control tour of our top ten picks overall. Take a look:
http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/RecommendedServices.php
We've also been expanding our webmaster section to include a wider variety of traffic and
revenue programs for webmasters (and anyone else with a referral link to promote):
http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/WebmasterPrograms.php
In general program news... There's a new company out called UseAndShare that we recommend to
everyone. They are running a limited time (ends October 31st) cash referral promotion for which
they have already set aside funds. It's 10 levels deep and it's free. You don't want to miss it.
Full review and link here:
http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/ReferralServices.php
You might also be interested to discover that we have finally decided to recommend a downline
builder type program. We're doing it mainly because we have been shamelessly bribed and also
because they threatened our grandmother. (Yes, we all have the same grandmother. Vote 'No' on
genetic engineering.)
That isn't the only reason though. Our decision was aided by the fact that we have received a lot
of good feedback about them. They are easily the best service of their kind.
And the program is... BuildReferrals (it's from the CompanionBar people, you've probably heard of
it). You'll find a full review and link here:

[Pay By Hour Services]
http://getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/PayByHour.php
The biggest news in paid surfing is Porivo... the first company to REALLY pay people for doing
nothing. See the top ten page.
Other news since last issue: (oldest first)
~CompanionBar was attacked (denial of service), shut down and then thoroughly hacked. Not only
did they survive, they preserved member info and earnings. Scrappy little buggers.
~New company: Porivo. See above.
~Aaruka (unlaunched paid surfing) now features paid sign up offers.
~GuideSpace is officially gone.
~CashGlow is now starting to get the exposure it deserves. Start telling your friends now before
they hear it from someone else.
~Farewell Cast-Net, we will miss you not.
~INeedThat was wiped from their server. No explanation provided.
~ClickDough is paying again. Unlimited hours.
~PayBar seems to have survived the various bugs and outages of the last few months. $.25/hour we hear.
Reviews of any companies mentioned above can be found in this section:

[Paid Reading/Writing Services]
http://www.getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/PayToRead.php
There have been new CAC (Create-A-Click Network) paid email sites launching almost daily this
month. Most of them have $35+ check minimums and do not publish rates. Probably not worth your
time. There are a few, however, that are looking very good. Including one with a $1 payment
minimum and two that have developed the courage to publish rates.
In an effort to keep this issue under your storage quota you won't find launch notices below for
CAC sites, instead, see the CAC page at the link below. Reviews are ordered by launch date:
http://www.getpaidtobeonline.net/GetPaidOnline/CreateAClick.php

~SexySend has gone to that great strip club in the sky.

~MailRound is now paying UK members but has voided earnings for all members outside of the UK.
Considerate of them huh?
~New company: ClassicDollars. Multi-faceted get paid company.

~New company: PublicAds. Nice rates, don't miss em. (reviewed in the featured section)

every day.
Other news since last issue:

~Various outdated reviews removed from the referral section.
~SmartReply has not responding to email inquires for the last month. More when we know more.

ItPaysToLearn has been making cash quizzes available for the last two months and is now paying all
members. You have to earn 500 points (points are redeemed for cash) each month to get credit for
referrals and your referral earnings are doubled if you earn 5000, or more, points... Go learn
something. It's fun, we promise.

ARTICLE
Road Rage on the Super Highway
I get a lot of feedback to my articles and website via email. Around 98% of it is so friendly and
pleasant that I post it on my site, but in that other 2% there are some real doozies.
Email and newsgroups have qualities that seem to invite unusual behavior. Again, these are very
rare occurrences, but when they happen they exhibit very clear patterns:
For some men, the anonymity of email and newsgroups seems to provide a rare ability to express
strong emotions without the filters normally imposed by society.
For some women, email is an easy way to pose as morally superior without the nuisance of actually
~being~ morally superior.
EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE MEN
(No, girls, that's not redundant. Let's not be catty.)
Sorry fellas, but it would be reverse-sexist of me to pretend that I get this kind of email from
women:
Dear Ms Cox,
You said that people who don't like spam have small brains. Well, I HATE spam and I have an
extra large brain, so you are stupid and everything you say is stupid, and you are stupid, and
anyone who thinks you are not stupid is stupid.
You're welcome,
Mike S. Angry Young Man
Wow! I guess someone wasn't breastfed.
If anyone actually walked up to me and spoke that way in person, they'd walk away with a wake-up
dose of pepper spray sluicing through their freshly violated colon.
Obviously, "Mike S." possesses the kind of brainpower that makes one-card monty dealers rejoice
in their career choice, but is that an excuse for such a self-indulgent attack? What is?
"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin
slitting throats." --H.L. Mencken
Sweet Jesus!! That's the NORMAL ones?!? Thank God there are so few. (Oops, catty.)
I suppose that all men have a demon of rage crouching deep within, tightly coiled, set to spring
at the least provocation like a runner off the blocks--some murky throwback to the cave days when
survival might depend on a split-second transition from sound sleep to ferocious bloodlust; a
mood swing on steroids.
"He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." --Samuel Johnson
Ahhh. I always thought that kinda pinched look meant men were grappling with the Big Thoughts
(or that they were a little backed up). Now I know that it's the Pain of Being a Man.
Strangely, I'm not sure that most men are aware of "the Pain of Being a Man" themselves. I asked
every guy I know about this secret man-pain thing and they all looked at me like I was pulling
their, uh... legs.
WOMEN GET "BOTHERED"
"Bothered?" I hear you asking. "What the hell does that mean?"
Dunno. I mean, I know what bothered means. It's that gnawing little feeling of contempt we get
when other people don't have the sense to be more like us.
What I don't know is why the botherEE would naturally assume that her botheredNESS was of the
teensiest modicum of interest to the botherER.
The opening phrase "It bothers me that..." smacks of a woman freshly empowered by her personal
assertiveness coach, stamping her little foot down on any and every subject which arouses her
miff... price of bananas, the holocaust, video rewind charges, etc.
Dear Ms Cox,
It bothers me that you compare the price of bananas with the holocaust in which six million
yaddas were yadda yadda'd and yadda yadda yadda.
Yadda,
Barbara J. Moral Compass At Large
Bothered schmothered. Incensed, irate, fuming, outraged... those are the emotions that get things
done. Bothered is a scrawny little turd of a response, notable mainly for its prissy self-
importance.
Bothered isn't a strong enough emotion to fuel much of an effort, so about the only place you'll
see it is on call-in radio shows, at PTA meetings and in hastily dispatched email.
In the above case, for instance, Barbara might have enough passion to dash off a "bothered" email,
but I doubt you'll find her tirelessly stalking geriatric Nazis throughout darkest Argentina armed
with a car battery wired to a set of nipple clips.
Though I doubt her husband gets off so easily.
IN SUMMARY
I live in an idyllic part of America where polite motorists still honk and give each other the
finger rather than the less cordial hail of gunfire.
On the information superhighway, however, the only regional barriers are language-based, so it's
not so easy to remain insulated from the baser natures of our fellow travelers.
Or our own! I'm sure we've all been known to pop off a few rounds at our fellow netizens now and
then.
Hell, it's half the fun!

members, hourly, to chat and play games).

to chat with in our room (called !GetPaidChat!) but there are almost always a couple dozen people
in the lobby for your money chatting pleasure.
