What if I told you that there is a social internet platform that combines the social interactivity of Facebook,  the opportunity to win cash through games like treasure trooper and cash back shopping like swagbucks and ebates?

Can you believe that someone has thought to combine them all into one AND they distribute a portion of their ad revenue back t their members just for logging in?

It exists and it is called PeopleString.

The biggest benefit for me is the cash back shopping.. let me give you a peek:

Look at these stores, we have Target, Sears, Walmart.. and that isn’t all, they also have Under Armor, Aeropostale, Pay Less, Liz Claiborne and so many more.  And that is just clothing!

So take a minute and look at PeopleString to see what it has to offer.  Sign up is free and you can start earning cash back for shopping and just using the site right away.
