Here's a thought.
I wonder. So, I'm going to be getting a free iPod from freeiPods.com... I'm excited about that, and I'm assuming, of course, that it will work, and I'll have a new iPod in something like 4 to 6 weeks.
But, as I mentioned in the previous post, I have also just signed up at freePhotoiPods.com [contains my referral link] which (once I get my first iPod) I will also have complete confidence and trust in to send me a Photo iPod if I meet the requirements.
I was thinking that I might give my (lovingly used, of course) 20 GB iPod that I get from the first web site to one of the 10 people that sign up and complete an offer on the freePhotoiPods.com web site. What this would do is it would give those 10 people an incentive to sign up beyond just the fact that they can earn their own iPod by inviting others. I suppose that many of those folks will not make it all the way to 10 other referrals (but at least, this would give them a chance of getting an iPod).
I have NOT decided to do this, but I'd consider it if it didn't break the Terms of Service of the freePhotoiPods.com site -- and I'm not sure if it does or not. And I'd also need to find a way to pick a random winner from among those 10 people. But I do have some ideas... For example, I could assign each one of them a number from 1 to 10 and then watch the lottery results from one of the state lotteries starting on a certain day, and the first time that only one of the numbers from 1 to 10 appears by itself in the list of winning numbers, that person would be the winner. Can someone think of another method that would be complete based on random selection that didn't put me at risk of being accused of fixing the draw?
Do you think it's a good idea? Would you sign up if I said that I'd do that? Of course you'd have to trust me, but I'm not a hard guy to track down and find, either... Maybe I'd have to post some references as to my trustworthiness? Wow! How does one do that?
