From all the spirited discussion about this relatively new site, I take it that everyone is waiting with bated breath if this is indeed a legitimate site. Have you guys signed-up? What kind of technical issues have you encountered with this site? I for one have received several times a pop-up which says that you can only view an article at a time even though I have rated and closed the window on that particular article. At first I tried clicking the button "Open Article" again, but it would show the same pop-up. So I tried the button "Skip Article" and it usually works but I would have to skip rating an article. Seems like a waste of a few cents to me. How about you, have you encountered this technical glitch? How did you solve it? Any other problems that you encountered?

I wasn't impressed with it. It seems like they are building their membership....$5 per referral....but you only get it if they stick around long enough to cashout....it wasn't all that long ago that imreportcard stopped letting us refer...and then decided they didn't want to pay us either...
I am sure we will see a few payments....they are going to have to pay somebody or else the party for them is over....but I really don't think they will be paying many. Now please remember this is just my opinion.

Hello workingmom, I heard you're a veteran in online earning. I suppose you get realistic the longer you've been around. I noticed that a lot of the sites that use to pay are either not paying or not worth working for. I guess we're reaching saturation point here in the world wide web. I hope we can still squeeze a few dollars out of readbud though, it would help a lot!

Yes, I think readbud is starting to have problems with the amount of traffic they are getting. I just tried to log-on to the site this morning, and I got a message saying "Service Unavailable."

Hi,
I have been doing this for 10 plus years. I stick mainly with the sites that have been around for years...then there is also a few newer sites that are doing quite well.
I hope the readbud will come through for their members. New online earners get discouraged with all the sites that promise them earnings...but deliver them nothing

The only problem I have had is that the article does not change. I then go to the first page left and ask for a new article. Besides that, no problem. The only one is the one we all have: Will it pay?

I gave it a miss and I have not signed up. There is a Lotter who is almost at payout then we will see 
There are going to be a lot of disappointed users if it goes the same was as other sites before it (Ciao and IMReport for example 
).

I´m ready to give you links whenever u want di. But first, let´s wait to see what happens. If it pays out, then it´s worth it. I find it more interesting than other sites but also harder to do. I still think my small sites are easier to trust.

Hello. I too am waiting for proof of payment before I make referrals. I do not want to incur the ire of my referrals if this turns out to be scam.

Yes, I'm also monitoring this site very carefully. I log in everyday to see if there are any new articles to rate and there tend to be quite a few at times. It's going to take a while to reach the $50 minimum payout but once I reach it I will watch with anticipation to see if payment is made to me. If so, then it truly will be a fantastic site and I would then go on to recommend the site to other people. Fortunately I have not noticed any technical glitches whilst using the site. I'm very interested in reading what others are posting here regarding this. Andrew

I recently joined the site and I have had problems with the articles loading but I just press refresh and it usually comes up. I have not had any problems of not getting credited for articles. I am at $3 and some change now. I am earning almost a dollar a day reading their articles. I wonder if the amount of articles you receive to rate will decrease when you get closer to the $50 goal? I wish someone could tell me they have already been paid by this site!

That is everyone's dearest wish, payment proof. Since it only started last March, I doubt if anyone has reached payout yet since everyone seems to be averaging about a dollar a day. I expect someone will bandy a proof of payment sometime in May.

They must be reaching their breaking limit. The traffic must be up in readbud. So the admin is not very helpful here, not a good sign.

Technically, readbud, but it is still theoretical at this point. I think most people have been earning an average of $1 a day in readbud. However, no one has come up with payment proof. I did see another discussion here bandying a proof of payment (it wasn't his though) which he got also from the internet. So hearsay proof? Here in mylot, thousands have been paid, some on a monthly basis.

No i never encountered such technicality yet and im hoping that i wont experience as such. I have big hopes for this new site and im hoping that its not something like a scam at all because first its informative too i learn alot by just reading stuff there and at the same time the possibility of earning too

I also dont have problem with that. Just do what other told you to do. I also hope that they will pay us. I want to earn money. Their pay out is $50 and thats a long way to go for me. Goodluck to everyone!
