IRazoo is Crap

OK this isn't about linux but a new web 2.0 start up I thought was pretty cool. But forget that it is complete crap! Basically it's a people powered search and you can vote up search results and recommend them up for others. I found the search results to be no better then Google, and at times much worse. But I stayed using it cause they had this scheme that you can get points for searching and for recommending websites. And with the points you could get free stuff, so I was like "hey I could use a free Ipod."

So after using it all day I have accumulated 50 points and, and now I see this small message at the top saying I have reached the daily 50 point maximum. So basically you can only get 50 points a day....So now for the math!!!

An Ipod video cost 175,000 points!!! So lets see 50 points a day that means it would take us 35,00 days of using this website to get a free Ipod. Just in case your curios that is 95.8 years....yea by that time the Ipod video will be a bit obsolete...

can you show me where i went wrong?
175000 / 50 = 3500
3500 / 365 (days in a year) = 9.58 years

that is under the old system. Now, if you save up your points, refer people, and win amazon.com gift cards, you can probably get one in about 2 years or so. Referring people is the best way, because if they win a gift card, you do too. It is all free, so what do you have to lose?

check it out.

still a long time. hard to believe that others might fall for it.
iRazoo changed their point structure, you can win your first prize in less than a month now
I won an amazon card from them but never nothing else. If you ask me it will take a long time to get any amount of points for any prizes there. Not really worth it.
They changed it now so you can win an Amazon gift card in a search. It is free, so you can either do it or not. Check it out now and alos check out swagbucks by my two links.
