When we conceived AGLOCO, we felt that one of the great things about the structure was that it rewarded the entrepreneurial users in addition to the entrepreneurial workers in the company.

First, after two weeks, on behalf of the development team, we want to thank all of you who have signed up as new Members, especially all of you who have put yourselves out and referred your friends and contacts to join us. We also want to thank those of you who have pointed out some of our errors and who have given ideas for improvements we can make.

We know that it can be tough to deal with a company at its very early stages. To the extent possible, we will endeavor to make sure early Members who promoted AGLOCO during this beta period receive the extra reward they deserve (in this way we hope AGLOCO will be different from YouTube, MySpace and even Google whose early users put up with a lot of malfunctions, promoted the service to their friends and watched on the sidelines as the founders and venture capitalists made hundreds of millions of dollars.)

We plan to send out an update email to all AGLOCO Members in the next few days (we do not want to send out too many emails to Members as they did not sign up to get ‘spammed’ by us.) In it, we will give some facts on the kind of activity on the Internet AGLOCO Members have built. They will include some facts like:

1. On Alexa.com, AGLOCO is currently ranked as the 2,235 most popular website on the Internet.

2. A search of AGLOCO on Google results in over 390,000 page results (AGLOCO was a ‘made up’ word with less than 200 results when the website launched)

These are amazing statistics for a website that is 13 days old today. And both of these stats are due mainly to the efforts of AGLOCO Members to promote Membership in AGLOCO.

This immense interest does put extra pressure on the AGLOCO development team and the system we put together.

It also points to the popularity of an economic network - people are interested, they want to join and they want to help build it.

For comparison on just the Alexa popularity ranking – AGLOCO made it to #2,235 in two weeks – it took Wikipedia two years to reach the same level of popularity, Facebook took nine months, YouTube took eight months and even MySpace took three months to hit this same level.

So congratulations to the AGLOCO Members for their efforts, we hope to move forward in the next months to make the AGLOCO economic network, the Internet icon the Members deserve.
