15,000 AGLOCO Sign Ups
written by John Chow
It’s been ten days since my last AGLOCO update so I figure it was time to check my stats again. I’ve been averaging 100 new sign ups per day so that should mean I’ve crossed another milestone if the rate held up. Sure enough, it did.
The AGLOCO Viewbar - It Really Does Exist
The AGLOCO Viewbar is real and it does exist. I know because I’m using it right now. Akshay Mavani sent me a beta Viewbar to try out and give my impressions.
The Viewbar software is a 1.8 MB download. When installed, it takes up 5 MB of space. The Viewbar is not any bigger than the Windows task bar. The version I am running shows ads by Google and Google is the default search engine. The ads are not targeted at the moment because it hits only one ad server. The rest of the ad servers have not been connected.
Besides allowing us to make money while surfing the Internet, the Viewbar does offer some useful tools. It has a nice Google search box and keeps tracks of all your favorites from Internet Explore and FireFox. There is also a quick link to the Windows calculator and calendar. I’m sure more features will be added in later versions.
From what I can tell from playing around with it, the Viewbar looks ready to go. The main sticking point is the integration with the ad servers. Once that problem is solved, everyone will be able to download it.
Here’s a video of the Viewbar in action. Please feel to post it on your blog. Just remember to give proper credit.

LOL! I thought the Viewbar would be out already…geez…how long could it take to program it?
Programming is all done. It’s just getting the bar to work with the ad server. Hopefully, this won’t take too much longer. On a cool note, I see I’m about to break 1,000 direct sign ups.
congrats,john
seems that whatever you do, you do it well
your rss readership is reaching 5000 now
wow!
Thanks for the video demo. Posting this video will probably entice even more users to sign up, so great idea!
Here is my AGLOCO promo site:
http://WeGetPaidToSurf.com
Then I guess that would mean the programming is not done
Agloco made the biggest mistake of any development project and that was to provide an estimated release date. 
congrats john !! nice going !
Well I feel embarassed even talking about it to friends now. Promises were given and broken and those who were likely to use it are now laughing at it and me. Get rich quick NO, become a laughable geek YES. Wake me up when it is an actual, usable, profitable product. Anyone want to see my NON-AGLOCO blog?

John hi, I have tried everything from the simple and understanding letters, memos, face to face even begging my associates, friends and family members to register. It’s like talking to a rock. Nothings working, since March I only have a total of 7 including myself.
am I doing wrong.
Kind regards, Confused and bewildered
PLZ RELEASE IT QUICKLY WE ARE DOING WAIT …….
TAHNX..
hi there,
how is it going with the Viewbar? any ideas when it will be ready for use?
cheers
Are you getting these signups using the bar that I keep waiting for?
I looked at the video and notice that it is running google adsense on it, but as far as I know it is illegal for anyone to put adsense on desktop applications/software. Is there something that I am missing???
hwy waht is a adsense and why is it illegal?
I think they shouldn’t have made all these promises as to when the Viewbar was going to be “officially” released. It just makes people disappointed when there are delays.
Thanks for the sneak peak into your computer room, John!
quite right
they have put off the timetable quite a few times now
Hey I’m just impressed that it’s not vapourware… The thing actually exists.
Why do u think so. All are wiaiting for its release.
Well, they were pretty confident for an end of April release but that never happened. There were also promises before about the release, but nothing happened.
I am aware these things require testing and such, but I mean what’s taking them so long?
The ViewBar is old technology! All the cool kids will be using the ViewCAR!

By the time the viewbar does come out, I wouldn’t be surprised if there actually WAS such a thing as a ViewCar LOL.
LOL
thats funny…..it is expected to be out…in weeks, months, years…no in the future! thats really cool…
Naw, it was actually released in the past. It just didn’t work out then.
It’s retro.
Kumiko always gets to test out the cool products! You’ve got to fill us in on your secret Kumiko
Honestly,
I don’t believe the whole technical problems thing. I’d not be surprised if there was another reason they haven’t released it, in terms of monetization and stuff.
i agree its like the hype building around vista
hey jhon
really u amazing i have question
i have 76 direct ref
and 80 ext. ref.. how much i can earn monthly .. approx pls
thanks
i keep telling everyone that this isn’t a scam, but they wont believe me and keep telling me how screwed i will be. their so skeptical…i dont know wat to tell them
Seriously, I’ve lost faith in this whole AGLOC thing. How can you guys cause such an inordinate delay in releasing it..its pathetic!!
anyways, congrats on the 15000 john!
Hello,
I still don’t get it with statement from agloco. They said they will give viewbar to 50,000 members per day.
If now AGLOCO already have 10 million members.
Then, HOW MANY MONTHS DO AGLOCO TAKE TO DISTRIBUTE TO THE MEMBER 10th MILLION ?
Could anyone tell me. Thank you
Rustan
I was hoping the viewbar should come quickly, yet until now I haven’t seen the darn thing at all besides at John Chows page, and I am very disappointed at that.
I am getting the feeling the site owners of Aglogo are pulling our legs, as the delay of publication has been reaching far beyond the made promises.
Ok guys, stop dreaming and start thinking. Do you really mean that somebody will give you the money?! It’s simple math - thousands, maybe millions of net people are in the system now, thousands and millions are going to join agloco in future. Again, do you really think, that somebody will give you a thousands bucks? Where he will get them? I saw some google adsense in the video, do you know how many you’re gonna get if you use google adsense? It’s just a cents! Nobody in the whole world would give you so many money for nothing and nobody in the world (except Bill Gates and others:) has the possibility to give you that amount of money. This is gonna be some students project, or in the worse way, some kind of scam or something like that. Please count and think.
Awesome John and congratulations! Ill be checking that video out when I get to a better internet connection.
Ok I just checked it out. Looks pretty cool. But John, we really need to work on your video skills.
Hey John.
I was thinking to join your AGLOCO network, or at least check it out first, but you know what? The link “Join My AGLOCO Network” is broken.
Cheers.
Ops! It’s fixed now.

Awesome, glad to see some more progress being made. I can’t wait to see what Kumiko has to say
hehe j/k Kumiko
I’ve still got LOTS to say about AGLOCO!
I’m glad they’ve finally got the ViewBar running (well, they’ve got it displaying Adsense at least) but what I’d like to know is how many people will use that viewbar for the months (in AGLOCO time could be years) before they start paying people?
Kumiko
haha, well said
They don’t really have a plan for actually paying people right now, just giving them ownership of the company.
Which may or may not pay money.
Man … I just made a video for the Wii Promo … ha ha ha … we’re all making videos tonight!

[...] buddy John Chow just sent me an IM directing me to This Post where he has posted a video of him using a beta version of the AGLOCO [...]
Any word on a Linux version? I asked AGLOCO early on and the response wasn’t promising.
I think a Mac version will come out long before a Linux version. That is if they even do a Linux version.
2. Initial Release for Windows: The initial Viewbar release will be for Windows Vista, XP, 2000 Pro and 2000 Server. Later, we will release Mac and Linux versions of the Viewbar. Until that occurs, Mac/Linux users can still log onto any supported Windows computer and accumulate their five hours. The Viewbar works with browsers IE 5.5 or higher and Firefox 1.5 or higher.

Their loss.
AGLOCO is doing pretty well for themselves anyway — I don’t think they’re out to lose anything.
yeah good going Agloco keep it up
That’s cool that you have so many signups… man I am so jealous. I’ve got 4 people under my wing. Hehe… it’s been a long time hopefully those people I referred to remember to download the viewbar. hehe
well, if it makes you feel better, i’ve got none.

I think John has so much because he advertises Agloco SO well; it’s just been like a huge chain reaction for him. I’ve never even heard of Agloco until I started reading John Chow dot Com.
same here
maybe john should start some kinda Agloco club
Well, I think John’s Agloco network IS his Agloco club. 15,000 sign-ups in such a relatively short time — simply amazing.
Thank you John for getting information from the tight lips. Did they give any information on how long we are looking at for launch?
