Viewbar Update: The engineers have informed me that the Viewbar release is currently scheduled for between Monday April 2 and Monday, April 16 (between 12 and 26 days from now.) I will keep you posted as I continue to hear word from them on progress. As they continually remind me, this is all dependent on the results of QA testing.
Thanks again for all your recruiting efforts. AGLOCO continues to grow faster and faster, as every new week that passes brings a new record week for signups (and last week was no exception).

Did you miss out on Google, Yahoo, MySpace and now YouTube?
At a early point in time, each of these companies
had a small window of opportunity for anyone to
cash in on some of the greatest financial opportunities
ever, but most of us, if not all, found out a little too late.
The Internet is about to go through a dramatic change and a
MAJOR OPPORTUNITY awaits those who are keen enough to see it.
You probably already know that Internet sites are making
millions of dollars in revenue, some even billions. Wouldn't it
be great if you and I could OWN THE INTERNET and
make money just like Google, YouTube and MySpace?
Another name is about to be added to this list and
fortunately for you and me, it's not too late.

Early March Update
yup recently update from Official Agloco Blog
Here are a couple of AGLOCO updates in response to the questions Members have been asking:
Website Changes: As some of you have noted, the AGLOCO website has made a few changes this week based on Member suggestions.
For instance, on each Member’s referral signup page, the “Blogs Around the World” have been eliminated to reduce the possibility that a referral might be lost to an external site. Clicking on each language in “Blogs Around the World” now brings you to the relevant section of the Member blog page, instead of to a single pre-determined blog in that language.
Additional changes are being considered as well, and I will keep you posted on those changes as they occur.
Communication: One recurring request is ‘better network communication between Members’. I have commented more than once that AGLOCO will add many forms of communication between Members (including an opt-in approach for Members to reach people in their referral networks that they may not know). This website feature will not be worked on until after the Viewbar software release.
Viewbar release: A few weeks ago, I said on this blog, “The Viewbar is currently slated for a March release”, and March 1st is now upon us (a couple of you were optimistic and hoped for a release on the first of the month). I know that the Viewbar will not be released in the first half of March. Our tech lead flew to Shanghai this morning to work directly with our six engineers there. I’ll give you more of an update when I hear back from him.
Regarding your comments about giving an exact date for the Viewbar release: I cannot give an exact date. Again, a few weeks ago I posted about our plan for a March release, and we have also posted various notes including ‘scheduled for a Spring release’ and ‘coming in a few weeks’ (that last one has been up for a few weeks).
The March target, and all the dates we have projected for the Viewbar release, have been based solely upon our Engineers’ best estimates. I have asked our head techie for a firmer date, but he hasn’t given one to me. If I press him, he can give me an estimate, but he cannot be sure. Anyone who has worked with software engineers knows that they don’t like giving estimates because they know problems come up all the time in software development. For instance, we could give you an exact date only to get a bug in the last day of QA that would blow up that date. When we started the Viewbar software we had one engineer working on it. We now have six. We have incentive - we know that the Viewbar release is the real launch of AGLOCO.
Big companies usually leave lots of time to develop software and they miss their own goals all the time. Apple just missed its goal for release of the Apple TV box. Yahoo missed the launch date of its Panama software project by almost a year (and it was the most important software project the company has undertaken in ten years). And let’s not talk about Microsoft’s track record. What we hope to do at AGLOCO is to keep giving you the best information we have.
AGLOCO is a startup. We are pushing our dates to the edge knowing that, yes, if a delay occurs we do not have as much cushion as a large company would. Moreover, if there is a problem in development, we don’t have 50 engineers we can just throw on it to fix it fast. This is why you almost never see this software development process in a startup (they just stay in ‘stealth’ mode until the software is finished). However, due to AGLOCO’s unique concept focusing on the Member, we decided to involve the Members as founders, right from the start. We knew full well this would open us up to more scrutiny and leave us more vulnerable than other Internet startups. But, we thought it was well worth the effort to gain the kind of community that AGLOCO needs to be successful.
Believe me, there is nobody who wants a firm release date for the Viewbar more than me, but that’s just not possible right now. If I had known about these issues in getting software out, I might have stayed in the biopharmaceutical industry, where a single product takes 5 to 10 years to be developed and released (and the dates are subject to many, many factors).
There is uncertainty here and I don’t expect you to necessarily be ‘happy’ with any delay or lack of an exact release date. Still, the question remains: Are you a customer or are you a founder?
If you’re a customer who just wants to collect his monthly check from AGLOCO, then I would expect you just want us to ‘get it done’ fast, not caring how or why, so that you can begin collecting that monthly check.
However, if you are a founder, you have invested (if not your money, then your time and effort) into the business and want it to succeed by doing things well. You are living both the high points and the low points of the company, the troubles and the uncertainty, and your reward for this is that you get some of the financial upside a startup company has to offer as well.
Meanwhile, we are in the midst of our fastest week of Member growth ever. Our daily Member signup rate has grown steadily and is now over 400% (4 times) higher now than it was in the first half of January.
This is an exciting time for AGLOCO. I will try to give steady updates in almost every post regarding Viewbar progress. Ultimately, a brief period of uncertainty shouldn’t hurt the company nor you, the founding Members. We will continue to communicate the best information we have to keep an essential element of your trust intact.

AGLOCO is not “Too Good to be True”
This post from Official Agloco Blog
I wrote a comment other day that addressed exactly the type of question Members sometimes get in trying to recruit others to AGLOCO, namely: “AGLOCO sounds too good to be true. Why am I getting paid without putting anything into it?” Here is the quote from my previous blog that answers this point:
Asad Khalid said,
“Well i have some concerns about AGLOCO. Though i badly want this to work, but it seems too good to be true. I can also recruit people into joining Agloco as its free. But this is the thing that worries me. Its hard to believe that you’re going to be paid without ‘investing’ or putting something in it.”
——
AGLOCO Official said,
If being “too good” is our only problem, I think we’re in great shape!
Joking aside, seeming “too good to be true” is probably the number one reason people DON’T sign up for AGLOCO. It seems strange to “get something for nothing.” The truth is, you’re not getting something for nothing. You’re giving the Viewbar a small share of your computer monitor, which we (and apparently many advertisers) consider extremely valuable. You are also choosing us as your partner for commissions, referrals, and fees accumulated through everyday browsing. So, instead of some other middleman making this money, AGLOCO makes it. We win, you win, and the advertisers/companies win for getting your business.
Also, if you decide to refer other Members and build the community, you get more because YOU have built the community and provided it with its most valuable resource: more Members. By providing value to AGLOCO, we provide value back to you for your efforts.
So, essentially, AGLOCO doesn’t cost you any money to join, but you are “putting something in it” to reap the returns AGLOCO will provide you. If it’s worth it to share about 3/4-inch of your screen with the Viewbar and possibly to take the time and effort to build our network, you have earned every cent of your AGLOCO payout.
Value Proposition 1: You have Viewbar on screen, we pay you for it.
Having a Viewbar on your screen while you are actively browsing the Internet offers benefits to AGLOCO, advertisers, and Internet companies. The internet advertising industry is booming, as companies are trying many different ways to get their information in front of your eyes. As such, every inch of real estate on your screen is valuable (as demonstrated by the “million dollar homepage” last year). The Viewbar will show a targeted text ad, and advertisers are more than happy to pay AGLOCO for the opportunity to put that in front of you.
Another reason you get paid is because having an active Viewbar on your screen means that you are asking AGLOCO to be your commission partner. Many things you do on the internet make money for middlemen without you realizing it. AGLOCO never requires Members to do any of these things, but activities such as joining communities (such as eBay and MySpace), searching (such as on Yahoo and Google), downloading free software (such as Adobe Acrobat), and making purchases (such as on Orbitz and Amazon.com), will in many cases generate money for a middleman. By having an active Viewbar on your desktop, you designate AGLOCO to be your middleman. This makes AGLOCO money and, in return for that, AGLOCO pays you back. So, in that way, having an active Viewbar on your screen makes you money for doing what you would ordinarily do.
Value Proposition 2: You build the network, we pay you more.
I talk about this a little in a previous post:
Why does AGLOCO use a referral system?
“The most valuable part of AGLOCO is its Members. By referring others to AGLOCO, you provide them with value and for that, AGLOCO thinks you should get some of that value you provide.
It makes sense. Think about YouTube. The first, most active users were on the site when the software was buggy and there were few videos available, but their Membership (and referrals to others) is what made the site a success. When it was sold for $1.65 billion, how much of that did these first users see? Nothing. With the AGLOCO referral system, Members get more for building the network.”
Should you choose to build the network, you are ‘sticking your neck out’ to build the community and make it valuable. You are ‘paying’ with your time and effort, as well as risking your reputation, in convincing the people you know to join AGLOCO. You know that it could fail. If it does, you have spent a lot of time working for nothing in return, and you might look a little silly to the people you referred into the system. Not everyone is willing to take that risk.
However, for those who do take that risk, there will be significant rewards if AGLOCO succeeds.
As I write this blog, AGLOCO is in the midst of its highest new Member signup week ever. And despite the naysayers, we are very confident that AGLOCO will work. In a comment to a previous post, Simon shared a quote that is pertinent to this idea:
“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” -Machiavelli
The power of the AGLOCO concept can be seen all over the web. Google AGLOCO and see almost 1.5 million search results. See our alexa ranking among the world’s top few thousand websites. With hundreds of thousands of Members, we are possibly the largest pre-launch community on the Internet. Go looking around the web and you will find tons of interesting and innovative Member blogs that display the energy and excitement in our community. I feel very, very good about AGLOCO. And if you believe in your own value as an Internet user, you should too.

Do You Realize How Valuable You Are?
Advertisers, search providers, and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you getting?
Think about this question for a moment, and I would say yes we are valuable. I think some companies forget who is helping to pay their bills, and give them extra to spend. Just like the gas price gouging, and the e-mails went out to not go to the gas stations. If we stopped spending, buying, then who loses? Those companies lose, and then they wonder where did they go wrong?
We all want to make money, get a part of the pie you can say. Companies pay for that advertising, and when they see how many people use something they want in. AGLOCO is trying to show those companies how many people have already agreed to use the AGLOCO Viewbar. They see the potential of how many of us will see their ads. AGLOCO sees the potential in us, without us they wouldn't get paid. We are founders of AGLOCO, and we can earn shares or even money. That is the part I like, AGLOCO wants to pay us, then share with us the rewards.
Soon the viewbar will be out, they say in March. Getting ahead of the game is my goal. Letting you know my opinion, and try to explain to others the best I can with what I know. Take a minute of your time, isn't that why your here? I appreciate you taking your time to read. Now, wouldn't it be nice to surf the Internet, and get paid? You are valuable, we together are valuable. Team work, one helping the other.

The History of Agloco
If you have any doubt that Agloco has huge potential and that it will be a tremendous success, perhaps by looking at its history you will be convinced that this is an opportunity not to be missed. Agloco is actually version 2.0 of AllAdvantage.com. That is right, the exact same concept and business model that Agloco is proposing now has already been tested with AllAdvantage.
The Story of AllAdvantage
Founded in 1999 by the same group of people that have now created Agloco, AllAdvantage became very successful in a very short period of time. Members went as far as putting ads on their cars in order to recruit new members as shown in the picture below:
More than 10 million people signed up with AllAdvantage and it quickly became one of the most visited web sites. The early members and top recruiters made a lot of money. John Chow, a successful recruiter was interviewed by the Canadian newspaper The Globe:
SEAN HOLMAN
Special to The Globe and Mail
Friday, June 9, 2000
Like millions of Canadians, Vancouverite John Chow spends a lot of time surfing the Web. But unlike many others, he gets paid to do it.
Mr. Chow belongs to Hayward, Calif.-based AllAdvantage Inc., one of the largest of more than a dozen so-called “get-paid-to-surf-the-Web” services in the United States, which pay members 20 to 50 cents (U.S.) for every hour they spend on the Internet.
For Mr. Chow, one of thousands of Canadians who have signed on, it’s been lucrative. Since joining in November, he’s made nearly $13,000 (Canadian) — representing about a quarter of his income. “I could make this my biggest income source if I really wanted to,” says Mr. Chow, whose real job is to run The Tech Zone, a Web site that reviews computer hardware.
Other members made also made good money, as shown by the checks below:
AllAdvantage paid more than $120 million to its members, and was ready to do a public offering in early 2000. That is when the dot-com bubble busted. Suddenly investors fled the internet market and the money dried up. AllAdvantage did not anticipate running out of cash as the IPO would provide plenty of cash to finance the fast growth of the company. But when the opportunity to do an IPO suddenly disappeared due to the market crash, AllAdvantage was unable to maintain its cash flow and had to close its doors. It was a painful but valuable lesson for the young entrepreneurs that founded the company. The internet was still young and many promising dot-com companies got caught in the excitement of the time, just like everyone else.
Six years later, AllAdvantage is back, now in the form of Agloco. The people that founded the original company understand that what lead to the demise of AllAdvantage is not that it did not have the right business model. It simply wasn’t prepared to deal with the lack of cash that came as a result of an unexpected stock market crash. But now the same founders are back, and they are much wiser. This time they are much better prepared to deal with the cash flow needs of Agloco, and will reward its members not only with cash, but also with stocks. This will give them the flexibility required to better manage the company’s cash flow.
You have the opportunity of a lifetime right now to become an early member of this tremendous business model which has already proven itself once. Remember that AllAdvantage paid $120 million to its members, and Agloco will most likely pay a lot more. Don’t miss this opportunity. Sign up now, invite your friends and build your network while the return of AllAdvantage is still not very well publicized and it is easy to sign up new members.
The Story of AllAdvantage
Founded in 1999 by the same group of people that have now created Agloco, AllAdvantage became very successful in a very short period of time. Members went as far as putting ads on their cars in order to recruit new members as shown in the picture below:
More than 10 million people signed up with AllAdvantage and it quickly became one of the most visited web sites. The early members and top recruiters made a lot of money. John Chow, a successful recruiter was interviewed by the Canadian newspaper The Globe:

Like millions of Canadians, Vancouverite John Chow spends a lot of time surfing the Web. But unlike many others, he gets paid to do it.

Official Agloco Company Release
Hi, I’m Brian Greenwald and I have been on the AGLOCO
development team since the launch of the website. I haven’t posted on this blog
before, but I asked if I could take a crack at it, since I feel that it should
be more interactive on a consistent basis. In reading previous posts, I’ve been
impressed with the way Members have been able to communicate with us en masse
(and vice versa) through this forum.
Still, I’d like to kick things up a notch and make this blog a better, more
interactive medium. Naturally, things are quite hectic in the beta phase, so I
don’t expect I’ll get to every question you have (basic questions regarding
Member support issues and the like should still be directed to help@agloco.com),
but I’ll try to hit the big issues. Capiche? Capiche.Here are a few general
updates of interest based on comments I’ve seen on this blog and throughout the
web:
Viewbar: I don’t work on the Viewbar team, but I know they are working hard
on it. It is still 6 to 8 weeks off, though laying out an exact date at this
point would require too much guesswork. I will try to give a steady update on
the Viewbar, as many Members seem to be eagerly awaiting it.Servers: As noted in
a comment we made in our previous blog post, we added servers to improve website
performance and that caused a glitch on Friday and Saturday. Things seem to be
working fine right now.
Hotmail: Things have been touch and go with email to hotmail. Despite our
efforts, they still put our verification emails in their junk mail folders (we
note this on the verification signup page, but not everyone sees that). Other
websites have had this problem with hotmail as well. In fact, the Wordpress blog
site has so much trouble with Hotmail they will not let their Members use it.
We’re continuing to work on this.
Referral ID Rumors: Looking around the web, I’ve noticed that there has
been a rumor that we lose Referral ID numbers when new Members surf our site
before signing in (the person saying this noted we do not use cookies to track
referral IDs). This is false. We do NOT lose ID numbers when new Members surf
around our site before signing up. Our system DOES keep track of them. As far as
our testers know, there are only two ways the referral ID will be let go:
1) If the person closes their browser or
2) If they are inactive with their browser for 30 minutesMore news soon.
Thoughts and comments? Happy to hear ‘em.Brian "
