Sorry, I should have clarified. First, your site is brilliant in that it captures something that happens ALL THE TIME; people referring products to their friends. It's arguably the best way to push product in today's global web-based market. But there's an underlying problem; you've now are converting people's value of sharing into money. Once this catches on and gains real customer acquisition power, you know someone with a bigger wallet will be all over this trying to push their product. So, then at some point, my "friend" recommends a product/service, but I notice their getting a cut of the action. What are their real intentions? Is this something they genuinely are recommending?

Additionally, since you take no cut of the affiliate payment, I'm trying to find out who you're actual customer is?
