It might just be me but i've come across about 10-30 new get-paid-to programs all made from about late 2008, to early 2009. It kind of worries me like. A lot. Some seem reasonable.. and others don't. Did anyone else notice this? Is it that people are starting to finally realize the power of the internet, or what? I swear a few years back I couldn't find much of anything.. but everywhere I look now, a new program pops up like everrry day. I'm getting overwhelmed! Aha. What're your thoughts?

Maybe it's partly because there's more people losing jobs and staying at home.. who knows? some may be coming up with these new ideas or there's more people to scam now!

Aha, that might be it. I'm actually in a way kind of liking it. After weeding through the pages upon pages of scams i'm finding a lot of original interesting concepts that're just as creative as Mylot is.

Yes I also notice that there are lots of paid programs in the internet nowadays. You join but later they will turn into a scam. I, myself has been fooled by this sites a lot of times. Now, I will not easily joined this sites. I need to search the site first before spending my time and effort there.

Yeah, it's kind of curious that the economic downturn hasn't trickled down to the online earning world, isn't it? Although I have noticed a big decline in the number of surveys I've been asked to participate in so far this month, I think that may have as much to do with the new year slowdown as the economy. Bad economic times unfortunately usually means more crime, and online scams are a form of crime...unfortunately, I think we'll see a lot of scams come out as people try to do whatever they can to make a buck. However, we may also see some new innovative ways to make money online also as people who have lost their jobs or businesses turn their attention to the Internet. I wonder sometimes if people like us aren't at the vanguard of something that could end up being really big. Instead of a service or manufacturing economy, perhaps we'll have an Internet economy in the future!
