April, 2000 News Current News | Archives 



April 30th:
  • Important: There is a new company out called Me12 that is offering $10 a referral plus free money in the future. Their program is outright fraud and we recommend avoiding it completely. Aside from the fact that their service is fraud (and will eventually end up shut down or in court) there are also a number of other reasons to avoid this company. If you are already a member and would like to know why you shouldn't be, email us. If this company gets big it will seriously hurt the 'get paid' industry that we've all been having so much fun with.
  • New paid game out called TheBiggestGameEver. Member get 10% of anything their referrals win (including the $1,000,000 prize.) (review here)
  • BePaid has announced that they will release their paying software on May 15th. (review here)
  • HomePageRewards has added automatic referral tracking and hopes to finish beta testing soon. Turns out they weren't ready for all the publicity yet. They don't mind, of course, and seem to be handling things extremely well.
