UPDATE: My free ipod arrived!!!! [1] Next up on the wish list: Free x-box or Nintendo DS [2] (only 4 completed referrals needed)
[3]
Thanks to the people that signed up for free ipods [4] under my referral, BUT for it to "count" you'd need to complete one of the offers (both to help satisfy my need of 5 referrals with offer completion, AND so that you can be eligible to get your free ipod). So, if you'd be so kind as to login in and sign up for AOL or something (and remember to cancel prior to the trial expiring) i'd appreciate it =)
A Boston NBC station did an "expose" on the free ipod thingie. You can read a transcript [5] of the broadcast about free ipods, or watch the windows media archive of the free ipod story [6] (fast forward to 15:15)
For those of you who don't want ipods there's also Free Desktop PC's [7] and Free Flat Screen TV's and Flat Screen Monitors [8] (same deal applies, sign up, complete an offer, refer 8 friends for flat screen TV, or 10 friends for Desktop PC).
I strongly suggest creating a junkmail account, but hotmail/etc dumps the verification message from these people right into junkmail so white list them or check your junk/spam mail...

Not that this is a definitive source, but a guy in a forum I frequent [11] got his Free 27" Sony WEGA Free from free flat screens [12] the other day (*jealous [13]*)\
UPDATE: Kevin Rose (of TechTv's The Screen Saver's fame) posted on his blog That he actually got his $250 dollar itunes Gift Certificate [14] from freeipods.com [15]
UPDATE Rate Ipod Offers [16] help you pick which offers are best/easiest/cheapest/least commitment/hassle to get a complete offer and be on your way.
... so as it stands now... I've got enough referrals for the ipod (but none on desktop pc/free tv) but none of the people who signed up completed offers (or didn't do their verification email, check the junk mail folder, or login and resend the verification email) so i'm on the precipise of getting a free ipod, but no love =(
*shrug*
UPDATE (9/13) I now have 5 completed referrals (out of 5) for the ipod offer. thanks! see updated drivel post [17]
