A lot of people think this is bull****, as I did when I first saw it. Then I was shown many sites showing peoples stories how they got theirs. This was even on Wired.com and on NBC News. (links for proof at bottom)
Ok, so you want a free ipod? It is free but it takes some work. To start off signup here:
http://www.freeiPods.com/ Then once you have filled out everything and have gotten to the survey bull****, just keep clicking no unless something actually intrests you. Then, you are signed up, all you have to do after that is get 5 friends to signup and then you have to complete one of the many offers. Some of them may cost you more money than others. I suggest doing an offer like the netscape one and canceling after about 5 days while still in the free trial and get everything for free, or else do the video professor one and the $7.50 you pay will be returned to you when you cancel.
So if your intrested check it out.
