Wearable Shuffles

The latest in wearable technology has just hit the streets, for proud owners of iPod Shuffles who want to take their Shuffle love a step further and actually stick it on their chest. Although not intended for users of pacemakers (or presumably women) anyone with a Shuffle can do away with low tech solutions such as pockets, and just magnetically clip it direct to the front of their super-cool 'PodShirt' t-shirt. We get the impression that there's plenty more of this cool gear on the way, so here's looking forward to PodPants, PodCaps, PodTies, PodBriefs - the possibilities are endless. Don't have an iPod Shuffle yet? It's so easy to get one for FREE you'll get it in the mail before you know it – just head over to our Free iPod Shuffles website and sign up today.

Pod Your Ride

It's no problem these days to hook your iPod up to your car - get an FM transmitter so you can play it through your car stereo, or get a brand new car with a built in iPod jack like BMW or Mini. Now Yamaha has even come up with a scooter that's made for iPod users. The iPod docks just in front of the saddle, and speakers on the sides pump out your tunes for you and fortunate people nearby to hear. We can't wait till they bring them out this side of the world or Vespa gets in on the act before them! We hardly need say it, but if you don't have an iPod yet you can get one totally FREE right here.

Clickwheel Cartoons

Color screen iPods are a great for sharing your pics with friends and seeing the album art for your tune that's playing. Also now, the creators of the new Clickwheel service want you to download iPod formatted comics for viewing on the color screen. Like Podcasts, they just get downloaded automatically and added next time you sync. Pretty neat, huh? And what better way to spend time with your iPod! If you don't have a color screen iPod already, you've come to the right place - sign up at our Free iPods website and get one for nothing!

Two Times TV

How many times have you fought over the remote or tussled for control of the Tivo? Even the smartest video recorder box can't solve the problem when you've got only one television and your roomie wants to see the game while you need an MTV fix. How about this for a crazy solution – Sharp have come up with a TV that shows two channels at the same time, not side-by-side but from different angles. Don't ask us how they deal with the audio. In fact our advice is just get the same setup for nada - sign up to our flatscreens website today and get yourself a high tech flatscreen TV for absolutely FREE.

PSP Mod Madness

Apart from being the hottest handheld game system in the universe, super-geek owners of PSPs have gone into overdrive with new ways to use it. We already told you in an earlier blog about folks watching TV shows on their PSPs. Now fans have actually created their own conversion of Quake for PSP, and a SNES emulator which will run classics from years ago like Super Mario Kart and Donkey Kong Country. And all this stuff is as free as the PSPs you can get from us! If you don't have one yet, check out freePSPs.com where the whole thing comes FREE – even including the shipping.

Battlestar Back on TV

This is what your flatscreen was made for - Season 2 of the new Battlestar Galactica is coming this Friday. Nobody would blame you for steering clear of the B-movies and cheesy reruns on the Sci Fi channel, but with this one they've somehow struck gold. They've kept the cool spaceships and added buckets of suspense and sexy Cylons. People's chins were hitting the floor at how good season 1 was. Tune in on your flatscreen this Friday, or if you don't have one already go sign up for a FREE one at freeflatscreens.com.

Get Creative Getting Referrals!

Some Gratis users are being creative in how they get friends to sign up on our websites, like university students Chelsea and Josh who are whizzkids at College Calculus and English. As you'd imagine, they're short of moolah but love the great products like iPods, handbags, flatscreens and gaming systems that we're offering for FREE at Gratis. So not only are they all signed up on our FREE websites, but they're also encouraging folks to do referrals for them - in return for homework help. Now that's smart! Best of luck Chelsea and Josh, keep up the good work.

Is there something you could do to give people an extra reason to sign up using your referral link? Send ideas to blog@gratisnetwork.com and we'll share the best of them right here on this page.

Get your referrals Fast!

Today we want to clue you in on a method to get your referrals moving at crazy speed. Think of a billboard on a busy highway that you pass every day - we're talking about the same thing but on the internet, and that billboard is your Referral Link.

If you operate or contribute to any type of website or message board for any topic (music, movies, anime, video games, stamp collecting, geek jokes, cloud gazing)– you've got a great opportunity to amp up your referrals. Post your Referral Link where it will be seen by lots of people, and tell them about how they can get a FREE iPod, PSP or Digital Camera or whichever you have signed up for. Make sure only to post your link online where it would be welcomed, and don't spam.

If you don't have a website what about starting a blog or photos site? Get creative, and work on getting lots of traffic. Before you know it you'll have completed your referrals and be ready to join your next Gratis Network site!

Just check the pics to see what a bevy of beauties they are, and head over to freeDigitalCameras.com to get yourself one for FREE.

You'll know from our Press Room that we've been mentioned on TV, radio, newspapers and magazines - and many positive things have been said by journalists who were once skeptics - but the ultimate accolade has to be getting a mention in the popular comic, "Boondocks" written by Aaron McGruder!

Worlds Happiest Pets

If you've checked out our Gallery recently you'll notice that we receive a lot of photos of dogs.

While we think about whether to do a Cutest Puppy contest, keep those photos coming in - humans and dogs both welcome!

Not at home but the lights are still on

Don't you love coming up with away messages for your IM? BRB does the job, but it's so much more better to drop 'Syncing my iPod' or 'Metal Gear Acid on PSP' or a clue to what really makes your world turn. Even better, get smart about your away message and put in your Referral Link. That way people could be signing up for your FREE iPod even while you're off taking a nap.

We've got some away messages prepared that you can just copy and paste from our Referral Tools page. All you have to do is paste it instead of your last away message, and be sure to put your unique Referral Link where it says PUT_REFERRAL_CODE. It's that easy!

Beware of Designer Handbag Knockoffs!

You may be coveting the latest designer handbag, and might consider getting a "knockoff" or fake bag from one of the many street vendors found in America's cities today. Why spend hundreds of dollars when you can get something for much less that looks (in some cases) remarkably similar? Bags sold at a fraction of the cost almost always contain the fraction of the quality. Purchasers can quickly find peeling glue, cracked faux-leather, broken hardware, and lining or stitching coming undone.

According to Business Week, counterfeit products are costing the industry not only great headaches, but significant costs. It's illegal to sell

(not to buy) knockoff bags, and handbag designers work hard on fighting this growing problem. Well, why settle for a cheap imitation when you can get the real thing for FREE? FreeHandBags.com gives away totally free designer handbags, each coming with a certificate of authenticity from their manufacturer. If you haven't joined this Gratis Network site yet... go check it out here! If you are male, handbags can make a special gift for a girlfriend, teacher, or sister.. and don't forget about mom!
