FreeWebStuff in Trouble

from the going-nowhere-fast dept

Another failure story. This one is interesting in that part of the problem was they were getting too many users. FreeWebStuff sounds like an AllAdvantage clone that pays people to surf. The problem was that people were signing up multiple times, and the company even had to hire three employees whose job it was to sort through the registrations and get rid of obvious cheaters. You would think this is something they would have thought through before launching, but these days not many dot coms actually think through anything.
