Agloco - Is It Edible? February 6, 2007

I guess I belong to a very small minority, because that’s the question that popped into my mind the first time I saw the word Agloco. Granted, I was reading a fine dining post at John’s site when the word hit my eye. 
Agloco is a company about three months old now and pays its users for surfing the web and using its toolbar. Signing up, downloading, installing the toolbar and referring others to join the network is completely without costs. In fact, the members of Agloco (A global community) are the shareholders of the system. The toolbar is currently at a beta phase and is expected to be available for download after a few weeks.
In order to get paid for browsing the web, both you and your contacts need to use the toolbar for a trivial 5 hours per month and it’s a button click away to minimize it if you so like. It consists of a search box, podcasts, video, broadcasting systems, ads, etc. Here’s what the toolbar looks like and some additional info from their site.
“The Viewbar™ is a small toolbar that rests on the bottom of your screen or browser window while you surf the Internet. The Viewbar™ software is what enables AGLOCO to collect the money you are earning while browsing the Internet.”
“The Viewbar™ keeps track of your online interests and preferences, and uses that information to deliver the most valuable message to you at the right time. Because privacy is a core principle of AGLOCO, the Viewbar™ communicates with our secure servers in an encrypted fashion to keep your information private.”
I strongly suggest that you make the leap and take this opportunity seriously and as soon as possible even before the toolbar hits the general public. Then the rush will grow even stronger. The global network has already grown to 180,000 members. I sent an email to ten of my contacts briefly explaining the deal and immediately saw my referral count grow both directly and extendedly through their actions. The best part about it is that you can’t lose anything for trying.
Join the network and have yourself a go.

Carnival of Improvement January 18, 2007

Welcome! I’ve decided to organize and host a weekly carnival that shares the same purpose as this blog - to improve the quality and success rate of all things related to personal development. Following is explained what a carnival is, what the specifics of this particular one is, how and what kind of entries bloggers can submit and why this concept benefits all people involved, from reader to submitter to organizer.
A carnival aims to collect great articles from various bloggers and put them all together in a single blog post filled with the links to the submissions. The carnival organizer decides upon what kind of entries are wanted, how often and what kind of a description there is to each article, if any. Consider a blog carnival as a place to find great content from various authors where you can find not only great insights on the given subject, but also new blogs you want to bookmark or subscribe to.
I will publish a new carnival every Thursday, which means that the deadline for all submissions is Wednesday. Entries submitted after that will be evaluated for the following week’s carnival. There’s a limit of one entry per blogger and it is up to each submitter that the given information entered into the form is accurate. Nothing will be altered unless given a good reason. Entries are divided into seven categories presented below.
For now, there will be a maximum of five entries per category and the outlook of the carnival entries on this blog is subject to change. All carnivals will be posted under the [Links] category. To directly go to the submission form, click here.
For readers, the benefit of carnivals comes from the value of packing together several great articles into one place. Furthermore, readers are given a greater view of the current magnitude of the blogosphere within the given topic. For submitters, the value lies in increasing the traffic to their blogs and getting constructive feedback on their articles. Remember to leave comments! As for the organizer or host, traffic building is also a great motivator. Personally I will also receive the benefit of social bookmarking and pleasure of reading lots of great submissions that drive to excel even further.
This is it for now, Be sure to return for updates and upcoming carnival entries.
Here’s the list that I’ll keep updating.
