Don't fall for this site as it is a file sharing nightmare if you do. First it is illegal and even if that doesn't bother you then you are in for a world of viruses and worse from thepiratecity. I hope it gets shut down. A friend of mine tried this site out and then came to me to get rid of a virus that was put on his computer. You may think you are saving money by purchasing cheap software that might be illegal but in the end losing your laptop to a virus is more expensive.

Ubid is a nice site with some decent deals online but as an auction compared to ebay is really doesn't offer much more. You also really need to know the value what you are buying as an auction on ubid. Ubid had this Sony VAIO VAIO VGN-SZ120P 13" T2400 1.83GHz 2GB 160GB PCG-6J2L and the bid was up to $799 and I found that same laptop on other internet sites like tigerdirect for less money. Sure it is a good deal compared to best buy but not to other internet stores. I would buy cautiously from ubid though they do have some good auction deals.

Most people looking up this site will probably be people trying to figure out if buzzle is a good way to make money online by writing blogs or partnering with them. They run a site where people write articles which have good SEO and then they just link to a ton of google ad words and hope to make money. The writers in theory can make some money doing this by linking to their own blog or elsewhere. I am not sure that is the case though and I would also be interested to hear what others have done on this site. The site design isn't very good and looks very outdated but they still seem to get quite a bit of internet traffic and have a high rating on google.

This site is trying to be a combination of gmail and facebook but sharing ad revenue with the users of the site. Peoplestring could catch on if enough people use it and want to profit from it but I highly doubt it. The product just isn't good enough to compete and peoplestring just can't do it without a high enough budget. No harm in checking it out but it was a waste of my time.

More bars and clubs need to start using bartab or webtab so guys can more easily pick up on girls using this service. Screw foursquare... that is useless to meet people at bars. Bartab you can wink at a girl and buy her a drink all through your iphone. Even if you are using a droid phone you can virtually buy a girl a drink even before going to a bar.

Gotta hand it to these people at booyah they have done what foursquare has not accomplished so far in their social app for the iphone and other mobile phones. They created a game where you really want to visit the locations and stores so you can buy the real estate just like the old fashioned monopoly game. Stores of course want people to visit them and with their GPS location based system they really know if you are there, unlike foursquare.

This is a groupon clone site that has daily deals, bargains and coupons for the masses. The difference is this site claims to give a portion to charity and as such hopes to become more viral as people want to give back. Groupon could just copy this idea if causeon does do a good job.

Finally a Blizzard Diablo knock off that is actually fun to play and cheap. I have seen over the years dozens of companies trying to rip off diablo and make a clone game that is fun but this company pulled it off. Amazing game... really. Simply amazing. I highly highly recommend it and you will be playing for hours. The only thing missing is multiplayer. If you have ever played diablo, stop reading this and download the free version of the game and you will then be buying it within minutes.

This is getting to the point of being ridiculous. These penny auction sites are designed to be a gambling site and to make money off people just like casinos. Even worse, venture capitalists are getting in on this game and investing big money into these sites. Makes sense I suppose, all of vegas is one big company now. I think the bad part is that these websites are just not regulated. At least the nevada gaming is regulated by government.

These sites never cease to amaze me in how they convince people they are just participating in a regular auction. If you spend you money and only have a slim chance of winning. That is a lottery. An unregulated lottery. Read about how everyone lost their money here

I wish the FTC would step in and say. Enough is enough... this is a form of a lottery or gambling and not a true auction and therefore needs to be regulated. Basically would you buy a lottery ticket from an unknown website that is not regulated?

Penny auction gift cards... yuck... please people. These auctions are not auctions... they are a way to steal your money and trick you into believing it is a standard auction. These are gambling websites

I love how this site says "If you're the last bidder when the clock hits zero, you win!" What they should be forced to say by the FTC is "when the clock hits zero we will just add more time to the clock as another bidder entered the auction... so the auction truly never ends and the timer is nothing but a farce--good luck gambling!"

I love how these sites are using the phrase "competitive shopping" when what they should be forced to legally say by the FTC is THIS IS AN UNREGULATED GAMBLING SITE>>>GOOD LUCK. Competitive shopping... like there is a real competition... NOT! There is only the consumers losing

WTF?!? Another swoopo wannabe here to steal your money? Guys there are not auctions, they are lotto tickets where they website controls the lottery. Stay away. This is a special auction where the auction never ends and everyone pays out except the winner... I call that a LOTTERY SCAM!

Nice penny auction scam site with a big corvette on the homepage. Yup that should lure in the people who want to buy a lotto ticket for a vette. Except guess what guys, unlike state lotteries which are regulated by the government, you get to buy a lotto ticket regulated by some dude behind a computer... just hope he doesn't decide that his buddy should win and not you...

Travel and penny auction scam all rolled up into one website. It seemed like someone thought."what else besides ipads can we sell to unsuspecting consumer in a penny auction... how about a vacation" and now we have offandaway. Yet another penny auction / gambling site.

OMFG! Another swoopo scam and rip off. This is not an auction. Auctionstorm is a way for the site to sell you a lotto ticket and the more money you spend the more likely you are going to win. But that is it... a gambling site. Just know what you are buying. You are probably just as likely to win playing a scratch off at 7-11
