Technorati tags: towards better life, blog carnival.

It has been quite some times that I haven’t have much activities on my blog as I was too tight up with my full time job. However I would like to share something that I recently read from StevePavlina.com.

I recently joined AGLOCO after reading the comments recommended by StevePavlina.com. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept.

AGLOCO’s story is simple:

Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf.

AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.

AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube’s users did not get paid for!

AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.

AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they’re building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube made. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share.

No spyware, no pop-ups and no spam - membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.

Conclusion:

1. It is free, You browse the web as usual.  With the Agloco viewbar installed, you go about your usual web surfing
2. It only takes a couple minutes to sign up.
3. High potential upside with low risk.

If you interested to sign up, please use this link (agloco) to sign up, I automatically get credit for referring you and helping to build AGLOCO: sign up for agloco

When I pointed out that he didn’t speak Japanese he looked perplexed… then I realised that it wasn’t about actually watching the Japanese stations.. it was about being able to tell his mates that his TV could get Japan.”

Betsy Flanagan presents Coinstar founder Jens Molbak (Podcast) posted at The Startup Studio, saying, “Today my guest is Jens Molbak, the founder of Coinstar, the self-service coin counting machines you see in your local supermarket. Coinstar processes more coins each year than the US Mint produces. When Coinstar installed their pilot kiosks in Los Angeles, they so significantly impacted the velocity of money flowing through the hands of consumers, the Federal Reserve called them up to find out what they were doing. Prior to launching, Jens surveyed over 1500 people as they exited local supermarkets. From his research, he estimated US households were sitting on $8 billion in loose change. The market opportunity was enormous, but Jens was equally motivated to prove that public, private and non-profit benefits can exist in one organization. Download the mp3 to hear how he did it.”
