Thank you alx, I will look into it. Maybe I'll just post a profile up or something, but I'll look into the whole revenue sharing thing. Does sound promising.

skype: $2.65 Billion

Giblink shares it's success with the members who help build it. No one in this case gets left behind.

All of you Opporutnity Seekers out there who are looking for a ground floor opportunity. This is one of them.

Check it out, Let me know what you think, and I hope to be talking to you soon.

I think the mathematics are devastating. To advance each pod in a line it takes 5 NEW pods incoming once the pod hits the launch pad, and once you hit line 2 you need to cycle through the lines twice. Without the double cycling to make it to line 11 from line 1 position 1, I got a figure of almost 12 million pods. Since the value of each pod is $50 that's 600 Million dollars to advance forward one pod to the end. If a person is in position 10,000 it would take 6 trillion dollars (and that was without cycling twice for lines two to ten. So what do I think? I won't be wasting my money anytime soon. Not to mention to stay "valid" and not get your pods booted, you have to make constant sales or purchase $150 worth of pods every quarter.

Anyone can come in and make money and you can join anytime. To really understand how it work you need to check the website.

You guys who are still skeptical and want to wait a bit to see how this business performs can still profit afterwards.

I will leave a link to an audio later on.

Umm...you realize that the money they pay out for the "pods" are from sales. Which means that you can sell webhosting etc., and that just throws more pods (pods you will get paid on eventually...maybe) in line. You don't make a dime until your pods cycle, and what pays for those cycling pods is percentages of sales from the "real products" (50% pooled), and profits from "business packages" (the pods you buy 70%). Which means when this thing fails, and it will, the only ones to walk away with a lot of money, are the creators. While you may not get "left behind", you may not ever make it out of the line to really profit. Good luck.

I totally agree Chris!

Also, what makes this little scam of theirs so insidious, is that they try and fool the people to believe that because everyone goes in a "line" that it supposedly equates to a "linear progression", and it isn't, it's a geometric progression! The problem is a lot of people don't have the mathematical knowledge to figure out the formula behind it, so they just believe what they are fed.

Look at these quotes

"Everyone joining the Program starts at the bottom of gibLine #1" -Implication linear.

"Look at it as if it was a ladder - people start at the bottom and get pushed to the top" -Implication Linear.

But my favorite quote is this one.

"Let’s say there are 10,000 PODs in front of your PODs advancing through the lines….well each quarter, 10,000 new sales or PODs will be entered back into Line 1 to be placed behind your PODs to push them and all other PODs thorough the lines and into cycles….." - Implication linear

10,000 pods will only cycle 2000 pods to the next line, and that is only from line 1 to line 2! Most pods won't even see line 3, let alone make it to line 11, which would take more money in sales then all the money in the world combined! Because of the double cycling from line 2 - infinity, which I didn't factor in the first formula.

If your pod happens to be in position 10,000 of line 1, just to get that pod to the beginning of line 3 in it's first cycle would take more then 1.5 million pods. That's $75,000,000 in sales, and all you did was "maybe" get your money back, and that is only if you did it in one quarter, otherwise you had to shell out another $150 to stay in the game! Unless of course you convinced others to join in the scam, then you got some bonus pods, and you may end up ahead.

Either way, it's pretty pathetic what this company is trying to pass off as a "money making" venture. It's a pyramid scheme that is using the success of real companies (and throwing in "help humanity bullshit), and altering the terminology to lie to the fools that might fall for it.

Giblink was recently just featured in Forbes Magazine the other day because they are setting records for the largest attended conference calls in history.


Giblink started pre-launch on September 10th and already has over 30,000 members and in comparison FriendsWin just bearly got their 12,000 member but only have maybe 2,000 actually paying members.


Giblink has 3 times the members and started their prelaunch 35 days after FriendsWin

I have found no evidence that they were featured in Forbes, they merely sent out a press release. The story can be seen through Forbes PR newswire feed. It may or may not be true, since it is their figures, and they are the source. Regardless, what's the difference, if that conference call story is true or not true? We are still talking a geometric progression through the lines that would require 100's of millions of people, and someone calling in, doesn't necessarily equate to someone who will end up purchasing.

I could NOT find any sources that state 30,000 members joined. That is the number they are "predicting" will join at the end of 2007. If you want to provide a link to your source, I will be more then happy to look at it, and shoot it down.

I was browsing through the threads and read this about giblink. I had joined giblink back in late Sep/ early Oct. This month around the 13th my pods cycled and I made $100. I don't really see giblink as an opportunity and so I do not promote it. I see it more as an investment. The way I look at it, even if it takes me 4 years to get my pods cycled through the $2000 line. I will have invested $2400 and when cycled through this line I would make $4000. I don't believe that's too bad. I will have made more because I would have more pods going through the lines.

So this thing might take some time for some to make some money. Just imagine this. 10 years down the road, all of a sudden your pods cycle through the $20,000 line. You just made $40,000 out of no where.

It's really how you look at it. And ofcourse those who promote it get matching bonuses which just make you more money everytime someone's pod you sponsored cycles.
