It will probably be cool if you let users be able to customize the reward for inviting folks. For example, if I'm launching an app, it doesn't matter if you're number 1 on list or 1,000. Everyone will still be downloading at the same time when the app is released. Perhaps some users will want to customize such that when you invite 20 friends, you get x, when they sign up, you get y.

Good concept though.

Thanks man!

HelloList can definitely do that (need to make that more obvious), mainly because it's just a simple platform. People sign up and promote it and such, and on the backend you get an ordered list of all the entries including info like who referred them, number of referrals, when they signed up, ordered by their rank (can dl it as a CSV too). Whether you let just the top 100 in your beta for free, give everyone who referred >3 people something, give the top 500 people a "badge", or etc., is entirely up to those building the list.
