Be sure to check out this interview with the founders too:

its from another blog at:

I read this on the Company Blog and thought it was interesting and worth sharing:

"Welcome to both the trials and the excitement of being a founder. Because of our design as an entrepreneurial company, we have decided to allow people to help us build the network before we launch the company. Essentially, as a Prelaunch Member, you are taking part in what a founder does: working to build the network.

I was flipping through some Member websites yesterday and found one that has a good quote from our “History” page:

YouTube was acquired for $1.65 billion by Google in October 2006. The story of how three guys made hundreds of millions of dollars in one year is a great tale of entrepreneurial success. But what happened to the first users who posted their videos on the site and told their friends to do the same? We don’t hear about them, because they did not get anything (other than free video hosting). Wasn’t it really these users that helped turn YouTube into a multi-billion dollar company? Sure the site is great and the founders deserve all the credit they get, but it is the users who ultimately made it valuable. There are plenty of video sites, and if it wasn’t YouTube, another site could have filled the space, become a household name and been acquired for an amazing price.

We are not trying to pick on YouTube (which we happen to love using). How about the early users of Skype? What about those who first downloaded the software, made calls to their friends in different countries and told their parents to use it as well? They did not see a penny of the $2.6 billion that eBay paid for the company in September 2005. And MySpace? How about the millions of members there? How did they do when News Corp. bought the company for almost $600 million? After all, it was the members that Rupert Murdoch was after when he purchased the site.


As a founder, you deal with all the bugs, the incomplete suite of functionality, and the burden of promoting a product that has not yet been released, but with AGLOCO you will also achieve a much greater share of the rewards. And we’re counting on you to make the constructive comments you’re making so that the management team can improve the company and give Members what they want once the product has launched. Those who continue to make the effort will find themselves rewarded when AGLOCO becomes successful."




World Top Blogs - Blog TopSites

It is always the people who make the organization – whether it is AGLOCO, YouTube, eBay, Craig’s List or even Yahoo. You and me - We make it popular. We contribute our time and our energy. We make it happen. And We will rally behind people and concepts We think are good. This is why AGLOCO will win. Because, We, the people, are already starting to rally.

You can see it. You can hear it. AND you can even sometimes feel it. The AGLOCO network is growing stronger every day… in every direction.

Sure, the AGLOCO membership grows by thousands every day. But, that is just one dimension. More important is the growth of the community around the membership.

By community, I mean what members are doing, what members are saying and what they are building. Let’s look.

o John Chow (one of my favorite daily blogs to read) is taking the time to write extensively his views on why he is supporting AGLOCO http://www.johnchow.com/category/agloco/ His latest post gives a very detailed account of why AGLOCO can be a big winner on the Internet and on how his readers can position themselves to share in that.
o Some of the many community service blogs:
+ Top Gun http://agloco-top-gun.spaces.live.com
+ AGLOCO Test http://www.aglocotest.com/
o There are the more serious AGLOCO sites which discuss the economic, political and social aspects of this brand new community:
+ One of my favorite revolutionary thinkers is http://haroldbbbg1619.wordpress.com
+ Another deep thinking blog http://jr-infomediary.blogspot.com
+ And the early report http://simmonsreport.spaces.live.com
o Of course there are thousands of recruiting sites and blog entries on regular spaces like MySpace. Simon, the creator of AGLOCO Rocks, was sited in the recent AGLOCO Update email for having a fun recruiting site. But what I find more interesting than just his site is that people in the community help each other, learn from each other and will build the network together much as they did at eBay. http://allaboutagloco.blogspot.com/2007/01/agloco-update-2.htm is a site built by one of Simon/AGLOCO Rocks recruits and obviously he was inspired by Simon.
o Even the traditional media is picking up the story - Red Herring’s current print issue has an article in it on AGLOCO – nice picture at Stanford. Traditional tech bloggers like VentureBeat http://venturebeat.com/2006/12/20/agloco-signs-up-tens-of-thousands-and-hasnt-even-released-viewbar etc. continue to check the progress. They are sensing what you sensing. The early growth of a new form of entity on the Internet. What they may not have sensed yet, is just how strong and powerful an entity it can be when the full force of its members is brought forward.

AGLOCO’s community right now is a founders’ community, a pre-launch community. It is already showing the foundation needed to build a great Internet community. Maybe… just maybe… it is the first of the great Internet communities. Because, unlike all of the proceeding communities, this one will be owned by its members and therefore run for the benefit of the community, not some ‘well meaning shareholders’.

ALEP – AGLOCO Link Exchange Program
Agloco Beta. Get paid when surfing the web.


AGLOCO get paid for what you are doing already !

    If you haven’t yet heard about AGLOCO, you need to listen up! This company, was founded by a bunch of Stanford MBA students, and is creating quite a buzz.

    Their slogan is ‘Own the Internet’… and that’s what it’s about: you’re getting back some of the money you generate for e-businesses just by surfing as you usually do. Skeptical? Well, here’s why you should join:

  • 1. Membership is completely free. You will never be charged as a member of AGLOCO.

  • 2. You will earn ownership in the company (in the form of shares) and will then begin earning substantial money if this thing blows up (and you have nothing to lose if it doesn’t.)

  • 3. Simplicity - you are already using the Internet just as you always have… now get paid to do it!

  • 4. Get your share! - even if your not going to be a millionaire because of this you may as well have some of it.

    • The company has a very solid privacy structure in place, so your information won’t be shared and you won’t start receiving loads of spam. AND, you can earn for not only the time you spend on the net, but for the time your FRIENDS spend on the net. Think about it: you’re driving users to the site, so the company earns more, and you, in turn, earn more. Fair and square, right?

    The AGLOCO member calculator will show you that can get over 5,000 shares a month if you sign up 10 good people who recruit more new members; and, once the site has grown enough, you will start earning actual checks.

 



Sometimes Free is too Expensive...
