I think the main difference is that a pyramid scheme asks you for money initially and then promises your riches - this model doesn't ask for money, they just give it. Seems that they want to focus on mobile services and I really see this service moving in that direction. From checking out the site it appears that what they have done for websites and business is more interesting. Allowing say www.catsaregreat.com to build a referal network and be targeted by advertisers ? That is cool i.e. so you sign up under your favourite site and when an advertiser targets that site you get a message. Would be cool if you could choose sites as well that you are interested in? I actually emailed the founder and asked about the model. He explained that they payout most to your initial network and only a very small percentage for what else you build - so it seems that really you earn most for "level 1" referrals. So it seems that really they are paying out the first level and only a very small percentage after. Either way, its an interesting way moving forward. If they could change to a "free mobile service" model - watch out Google! Hey good point.
