I went and signed up for a Ziggs account after reading about them in the WSJ. Did not care too much for what I saw after I signed up so I did not complete the profile.

This recently showed up in my mailbox:

Dear Lance,
Ziggs Inc has sent you a $10 gift from Starbucks. As a thank you for joining Ziggs, we invite you to have a cup of coffee on us. Instantly sending (and receiving) Starbucks cards as gifts to friends and colleagues is just one of the many friendly services we offer you at Ziggs. Enjoy the buzz. You can use your gift to purchase any of your favorite Starbucks items. In order to redeem your gift please click on the “Redeem” button below. A card will be mailed to you after you have verified your shipping address.

So I gave them my physical mailing address.

If this is some misquided viral marketing effort it worked. Sign up for your free coffee here.

They are not only not charging for the service but paying people to sign up. This is worse than Kozmo but you may as well take advantage of it while you can.
