Is PeopleString the latest social network fad or is it here to last?

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/7pidZ)
If you are a member of a lot of Safelists as I am, you've probably been hearing and seeing a whole lot of news about People String lately. A kind of new social network medium that allows you free ways to earn as well as connect with other people online. In my opinion People String isn't much to brag about, but since it's free to join, it's worth signing up and giving it a try. This is just my opinion though.

At the current moment People String does have one upgrade option for your membership. It's $200.00 and looks like a big rip off to me. You get an e-mail account that you can get for free elsewhere and you can earn off of other paid referrals. Totally looks stupid and I would never upgrade my account and ask you to do the same as me. That $200.00 would be a complete waste of money as there are more profitable ventures out there to take advantage of.

I signed up about a week ago and got a 3 cent sign up bonus.  I don't know why I got the sign up bonus, but none the less I did. I've heard some people claim that they've gotten sign up bonuses of up to $1.50. That didn't happen for me, but could happen to you. People String doesn't promote a sign up bonus on their marketing pages, so I don't know why I got the bonus to begin with. But I'll take what I can get, you know what I'm saying?

As far as I can see People String works kind of like FaceBook as you can grow your network and chat with friends of yours. You can set up a lengthy profile, which I probably won't because I would rather build my FaceBook network than People Strings because FaceBook isn't based off earning money and has already established a good name for themselves.

People String is supposed to give you paid e-mails and like I said, I've been a member now for over a week and have yet to receive any paid e-mails in my inbox. So, at the current moment I've earned 3 cents and that's it.

So to get to the answer to the title of this blog post.

Is PeopleString the latest social network fad, or is it here to stay?

The answer is simple to me. It's a fad, you're hearing all about it now because it's new, but later on, a few months later you won't be hearing about it all too much because there are a whole lot of people out there that are too smart to upgrade their account for an outrageous $200.00. That's the bottom line, it's over priced and you can get more by promoting your FaceBook profile than you could promoting People String earning pennies for all your hard work.
