Went to update my review of the UrbanFreebies rewards program this morning and found it’s no longer a rewards site — it’s now yet another lame search engine portal.
I had high hopes for the site when I initially reviewed it in early 2003 — you could earn points for, among other things, watching movie trailers, which was pretty unique. The site had a cool, funky look and feel and was clearly aimed at a young and hip crowd. Guess they never found their audience, or maybe they couldn’t get their business model straight.
In any event, the new site has “Copyright 2006″ on it so it appears this was a fairly recent demise. Even though this one never fully developed, you hate to see another rewards program fail.
