Agloco

I have to say this: Agloco, owned by an Indian web-entrepreneur, is going great guns as it harnesses more and more members in its fold.

Here is a little more about agloco. Read this blog in full and then copy the link at the end of the post, and paste it in the address bar of your web-browser. Click GO and join in!

I recently joined AGLOCO because a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you all 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:

Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!

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.

What's the catch? No catch - 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.

So do both of us a favor: Sign up for AGLOCO right now! If you use this link to sign up, I automatically get credit for referring you and helping to build AGLOCO. Click here!

Hi! In this entry, I want to share with you all - this amazing photo and file sharing website - http://www.esnips.com. It shares some of the features with other phot0-sharing sites like picasa on the web, webshots, flickr etc, but the unique thing is that it is fully integrated with the web-browser that you are using and comes with a nifty toolbar that lets you upload not just photos but books, music files, program files and so on. Users from all over the world can see your uploaded files, and conversely, you can browse the folders of other members too. Membership and download of the toolbar are free and easy to go through.

Writing and why I enjoy it

Let me tell you that for the past nearly one month, I have been busy writing and participating in an interesting contest on www.writing.com. In this contest, known as Project Write World, the person who ran the contest invited writers from the website to take part in a team-driven competition; we were to form country-specific teams and coordinate with each other to write a poem, a short story and an article based on a "prompt" provided by the contest organiser. My team-mates, eight including me, did a fine job, with a story written by me, a peom written by a school-teacher from Bangalore and an article written by a collegiate finally selected for submission.

We are all waiting with bated breath for the results, which should be ready in 10-12 days.

In the meantime, I have been busy with several other things on the net, like chatting with close friends, playing games, writing other items on writing.com, and so on. And when time permits, I also continue to edit my Parenting book.
