network. At the time of writing, I've a total of 2,028 members :

Total no. of Referrals--2,028
The growth of Agloco membership has been phenomenal since
its inception 3 months ago. Based on the latest member I.D.
(BBCHxxxx) I'd estimate that the total number of Agloco
members has exceeded 300,000.
There has been even more news, talks and discussions going
on everyday over the internet. The blogosphere has been
busy as more and more bloggers are joining Agloco.
The Agloco Official Company Blog continues to be the
main center of active discussions among members and the
Development Team.
Today, I've also come across Harold's latest article on Agloco,
like to quote it here to share with you :
Harold on "An AGLOCO for All Members" :
AGLOCO is a ‘big’ idea. What I mean by that is that AGLOCO
must attract a big community to be effective. By their own
standards the creators of AGLOCO have stated they want a
community of at least 10,000,000 members. (Seems like a
big number but it is just about 1% of the current Internet
population.)
Oh don’t get me wrong, I think they can be profitable at
500,000 or so. But to really be the Internet Revolution I and
others think they can be, they need to be 10,000,000 on their
way to 100,000,000.
AGLOCO is still a pre-launch company (yes they have an
enormous amount of publicity for a pre-launch Internet
startup coming out of Stanford University – but they only
announced their existence four months ago). Much focus has
been on AGLOCO member growth and the AGLOCO referral
system. It has been stated by AGLOCO that less than 20%
of AGLOCO members will ever have a referral and less than
5% will ever have many referrals.
So, AGLOCO is much like a big tree with lots of leaves –
regular members represented by the leaves. Like any tree, it
will only flourish if the leaves are healthy.
To do that AGLOCO must appeal to a large segment of the
world’s internet population. Let’s see what their chances look
like.
Cost /ease of being a regular AGLOCO member.
• Free – no cost to join or maintain Membership – software
is free
• Joining takes less than 2 minutes.
• Viewbar takes up a small amount of the desktop while surfing
• All information private – so no cost there
• No spam (a once a month AGLOCO update email appears to
be the total email incursion.)
• Viewbar can be turned off anytime with one click – no spyware
Conclusion – cost to regular members is very low.
Benefits of being a regular AGLOCO member
• Some utility (probably not as much as the Google or Yahoo
toolbars)
• Income from monthly surfing - $50 to $100 a year
(smaller in first year)
• Income from affiliate rebates (discounts etc. - varies by person
greatly - but the biggest users of the Internet would get the
most benefits)
• Income from being an owner – could be more than $100 if a
regular member is an early joiner.
Conclusion – a small but reasonable amount of cash income
plus positive value of software utility.
Based on this very quick look at AGLOCO’s leaves, they should
be very happy. They do almost nothing and get something
(even $50 a year is infinitely more than any other software is
paying them).
As the AGLOCO economic network grows over time, the
amount of utility should increase as well as the actual cash
economic dividends. This should mean the leaves stay green
and the AGLOCO tree continues to grow healthy.
I do think that AGLOCO is a good idea for ALL Members
