I Am Loved

www.iamloved.com

Finally, there is a site on the Internet that’s about spreading free love. At www.iamloved.com, site-goers can see what one man’s altruism has done for the world. The premise is simple – by going to the site, users can request pins that say “I Am Loved” for free in nine different languages. In four to six weeks (for delivery) the love can then be spread. It’s that simple. No cost. No obligation. Just good old fashioned TLC. Since the idea started in 1967, anti-drug organizations, hospitals and many religious groups have adopted the “I Am Loved” campaign’s message. According to the site, it even appeared in the “Peanuts” cartoon where it was mentioned by Snoopy himself. Iamloved.com is a great site that’s easy to use. No credit card information. No surveys. All users are required to do is enter their name and address and they can request 25 pins in each of the following languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, Russian, Italian, Polish and Hebrew. Sure, Valentine’s Day has passed, but it’s never to late to show someone you care. These pins could actually help Web addicts land their next date. So, instead of surfing the same old sites, try this one and go spread the love.

At freecondoms.com, Web users are at least offered the “safe” portion of the equation, with an unlimited amount of condoms, free of charge – sex not included. Although all free things must come with some kind of catch, the hook forced on site-goers at freecondoms.com really isn’t too painful. All users are required to do to earn free condoms is register on the site and start earning points through registering on other well-known sites such as eBay. Simply for registering on freecondoms.com, site goers are provided with 30 points that they can use towards earning themselves more than just condoms. Also available for purchase with points on freecondoms.com are lubricants and T-shirts. Various sizes and flavors of lubricants go for 200 to 300 points, in addition to the Durex condoms offered.

Though most registering programs rack up only 20 points for users, just for registering on eBay, user can claim a whopping 80 points. Also featured on freecondoms.com are hilarious not-so-clean sex-related jokes. Though some prove to be not so charming, many will bring a smile and laughs to users.

Freaky Freddies

www.freakyfreddies.com

College may be the one time when students can get away with looking homeless and begging for money. Freakyfreddies.com is keeping in stride with this by offering a Web site chock full of free goodies, knick-knacks and otherwise useless crap. From books to games to recipes to Web space, at Freaky Freddies site users can find just about anything online that is free in one way or another. It’s not this site, however, that is doling out millions of dollars in goods. What freakyfreddies.com does is provide a concentrated source for Internet users to find great deals and potential prize worthy contests. For instance, users can click on the “Book Freebies” link, where books like “Your Bible and You” are readily available for free. There is also a site link to beauty4free.com, where people can enter to win samples of free beauty products every day. For ladies and perhaps a handful of men, don’t forget to click on the “Bikini Zone” link, the one-stop shop for a free sample of the goop that clears up rashes and bumps. The self-proclaimed “Free Funhouse of Free Stuff” currently offers 72 categories with countless items therein. Plus, the site gives away a free daily surprise. One daily giveaway was a free trial subscription to Forbes magazine. Not exactly a trip to Jamaica, but at least the site tries. There don’t seem to be any gimmicks or fine print to freakyfreddies.com. The site legitimately wants to give Internet users a place to come and peruse through a list of freebies. This, then, begs the question, does one really need any of this stuff anyway? It is worth a look, because hey, free Vegamite samples are cool anytime.
