I just joined this company called Agloco.
They promise you will become a share holder in a big company, just like YouTube??
All you have to do is spend 5 hours a month online. But, right now there in prelaunch so it`s all about referals.

I`ve done some research into this company, and they are saying it will be the biggest thing in internet history!

It`s free to join. The bigger the company gets, the more you make.
But the real money is in the referals.

I found some info here http://www.myspace.com/aglogo
But when you sign up, you`ll find more info about this than you can handle.

This could be huge. What do you think?
I signed up, what could it hurt right?

It`s an interesting concept as far as I can tell from the little I looked at it.
I`m extremely weary of things that remind me of pyramid schemes. This
looks like some sort of an e-pyramid scheme. I have no intention of
joining but what does anyone else think of this?

I agree... it`s exactly like All Advantage... if you remember that... except you own a part of the company. so if they sell, you`ll be a part of the profit.

im still a skeptic though...

I`m not interested. If it looks like a pyramid thing, that`s enough for me. I could care less when I read words like "Next biggest thing in history!" No it`s not.

I`ve looked at it and whole concept to me is still nebulous.Though i joined sometime last year but i don`t see myself engaging wonderful time on it. Perhaps others might be interested but i don`t think i have time to begin to make referrals.

Maybe if i get a clearer picture of what they want to do and understand the letters and figures, i might have a rethink but as at now, i`m booked.

"What’s the Catch?
No catch. Sign up, refer your friends, download the free Viewbar™ software and surf the Internet as you normally would."

:-) the scary thing is that some people actually do stuff like this

"Privacy Counts.
Your information will never be sold, rented, or shared with anyone else. Bulletproof privacy is a core commitment of AGLOCO."

Is there anybody that doesn`t understand that the business model here is to collect your information, that of those that you associate with and actually sell it? The general idea for this type of sites is something like this (these are my words but you get the gist)

"you give us all your information we will never sell your data, however if the company were to be sold your information will then be sold to this new company as part of our assets and it will then be subject to the policies of the new owner. We will notify you about the impending sale of the company by updating our policy section, at that time you can choose to take yourself out of our database before the transfer happens."

And people fall for this time and again and again and ... :-)
