roll roll Thinking of spam, when I check my google mailbox, the spam filter always has recipies for spam in the little sidebars that suggest things to you based on message content. Funny that. roll roll

Speaking of search engines, why does *anyone* try to re-invent the wheel these days? Find something else to earn money from. Like a Tupperware party or life insurance.

A good question that has come up time and time again in my area.
A lot of neighbours and other assorted mugs all bought in as founding members of this "next biggest thing on the Internet" called MadeBig.com
I took one look at it and laughed - it's a joke and nothing new at all and they were asking $700 to be a founding member with other options that could be added for more money. I saw it as a dressed-up affiliate scheme which sold sub-web pages to ignorant Internet users at a vastly inflated cost.
It supposedly just launched at the start of this month and it looks like the complete cack I predicted it would be. Surprisingly, few neighbours bothered to ask my opinion and of the two that did, one ignored it completely.
Take a look if you want a laugh. Their old site is http://www.madebig.com and has been around for several years, in a variety of guises. The "new" and very slow site is at mbnation.madebig.com
It's a complete scam. You can see more about it at http://www.scam.com, under their Internet Scams - TMII or MadeBig thread. I felt the balance needed redressing and have been contributing some actual facts there.
They even changed the compensation plan at the launch and abandoned the members recruiting members as that was clearly a sign of a pyramid scheme. It seems to be so popular in my state but less so in other states and is perhaps a sad sign of the level of education here.
