Have you seen all the ads pounding status updates on Facebook and flowing through your tweets on Twitter?

It seems like everyone on my friend and following lists are plastering up these ads, what about you?

If you’ve been wondering what it’s about it’s free to check it out and it even pays you to use it.  You receive $.50 for each person you refer to Peoplestring and you receive an instant earning of $1.50 for filling out a survey for Peoplestring.

The pay is minimal, but the idea is that you receive back a portion of the company’s earnings.  If you use Facebook you have seen the ads on the side that relate to your interests or content of the page you are on.  The proceeds of all these ads go to Facebook.  With Peoplestring they pay you a portion of the revenue.  And just like Facebook you only see content related to your interests.

Peoplestring has a few interesting features that are appealing.  Messages are self-destructing, meaning that there is no record of it on any computer or server.  You and the receiver are the only ones that are able to see the messages.  Emails are able to contain video, and you have the ability to see when an email has been read.

Peoplestring is compatible with IM services such as AIM, Yahoo and MSN.  You can log into multiple screen names at one time while logged into the Peoplestring IM.

The compensation from Peoplestring has benefits of an MLM.  When active members that you have referred generate a commission for themselves, you also receive a portion of the revenue they created.  Just like an MLM there are different levels of compensation.

So is Peoplestring worth your time?  Well, it’s free to join so you can take it for a test drive.  If you are looking for an opportunity to make money and don’t need the resources Peoplestring provides, I would suggest against it.  However, if you find a need for the services, then you can earn extra cash for using something you already use and need.

Take note ahead of time, if you earn less than $25 in a month with Peoplestring, your check will not be issued.  It will roll over each month until you reach the minimum $25 before they send you a check.  And you must remain an active member by logging in at least once a month or you lose your account and your money.  But since Peoplestring is something you can use everyday, that shouldn’t be a worry.

Since Peoplestring is free to join it’s my suggestion you read about “free to join” and other MLM advertising lines.
