I enjoy free things, do you?
A friend of mine refered me to this little thing a while ago and I never got around to sharing it here until now. But here it is.
It's called Blingo and it's a search engine run by those guys behind the Publishers Clearing House and powered by Google. The idea is that you use it to make searches that you had planned on doing anyways and along side of that, there is a slight chance that you can win something. Prizes are supposed to range from things as simple as a free movie ticket to be claimed online all the way up to things as fantastic as 10,000 dollars or larger.
Also, if someone who is already on the system (Me, in this case) refers you and you sign up as his or her friend, when you win that same person wins the prize as well.
So, knowing that, I'm inviting all you guys to join in on the fun.
I don't know anyone who's won anything fantastically amazing in person, but I know at least one person who's won a Wii (or he opted for its cash equivilant, $250) and another who cashed in on a $50 Amazon.com gift card.
Anyone interested?

Signed up. Seems harmless enough, although I wonder about its pyramid-scheme-esque prizewinning architecture.

"Anything that might be of interest to Slitscan. Which is to say, anything that might be of interest to Slitscan's audience. Which is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections."
