Blingo - Get Paid to Search

[MrCodeDude]

Anyone heard of this before? It was mentioned on my local news two days ago during their Tech segment, it seemed interesting. The company has actually received some legitimate press, so it seems worth it. Considering it's the exact same as Google.

Thoughts?

Hmm, looks pretty legit, and since no registration is required, how bad can it be? The worst that can happen is that you give them your address and they send you lots of crap, but everyone gets lots of that anyway...

Couldn't someone just make a program that does a certain task (search) until a certain window ( the winning window) appears?

Only first ten searches can win prizes.

Someone should make this into a search engine for firefox. That'd be sweet.

Blingo is legit. I won a movie ticket a few weeks ago and sure enough it came. I saw Mr. and Ms. Smith with it.

They used to give away 10,000 a day or some other crazy amount. I always wondered how they stayed in business.

I'm using it to search... they usually draw prizes about once every hour or so it seems...

I have yet to win anything and my luck if I did it'd be a movie ticket, oh well...

speaking of winning, I still haven't received those damn dell dellf books I was supposed to get in the mail :|

I know someone who has used iWon for years, foolish tard.

Of course I'll bite my tongue if he ever does win and I'll become his bestest of friends

Until then Google > *
