I just won a $10 itunes gift certificate on Blingo thanks to John. Blingo is just basically a different front-end for Google. Sign up as my friend and then use Blingo to search instead of going to google or yahoo or whatever you use. It’s free and you can win prizes just for doing your normal searching.
