Dude you've been smoking too much pixie dust.
Your unicorn is in the mail.
If you do put the good and the bad (can you point me to a bad post?) on your blog like you say you do, then good for you.

No I don't think Google, Ebay, Yahoo, MSN, Amazon, etc. have solid long term goals. You are correct sir.

So, you are selling an intangible product? Dude, I can sell farts in a can if I wanted and probably still make money.
I'm not dissing on you for selling it, I'm dissing on the original Stanford guys who are probably going to successfully ride this out for a year and then be able to retire. It's like that Alex kid and his second million dollar homepage.
I can see them at their Web 1.0 Mountain View condo pool:
Stanford Kid 1: "Man, we were pimps during AllAdvantage. We should do it again!"
Stanford Kid 2:"Totally Dude!"
Stanford Kid 3:"Let's make a page, and build the service later!"
Stanford Kid 4:"Bro, that's hot. I already built the page."
All 4 in Unison: "BETA!" (high fives and fist bumps are passed around)
"Quick, to the batmobile!" Na na na na na na!

Um, do you know what forum you are logged into? Jon has a t-shirt that can help remind you. Wear it backwards if you want to be reminded of better places to not waste your time.

You're absolutely right, relying on one program is absolutely idiotic. But if you'd hate to see it, then why have a moniker of one program? It's like if I named myself "Clickbank_Squatter" or something. HydraAglocoogleCJbankWeeklyCopeazon would have been a cooler name.
Second, In order to have stock to buy and sell, a company needs to be listed on some (domestic preferably) stock exchange. Agloco is far from that since they don't even have financials they can present to the SEC. And, the SEC is very wary about approving IPOs for dotcoms with short history. They don't want to be responsible for another bust.

I think the shares that they talk about are "private shares". And most likely will not be for sale unless you have a large amount, and even then you'll need approval from the management company board of directors. They'll most likely tell you those shares have no cash value at the moment, but represent the percentage of ownership should anyone offer to actually buy out the company or, less likely, an IPO occurs. Mostly, those shares are a representation of what percentage of the previous months profits you are entitled to. They still won't have cash value for quite some time. Only way to cash out is to forfeit them back to the company, or die, which would mean they are forfeited anyway. And I'd seriously doubt that you'd put the extra money in "other" programs. You'll most likely catch the hype of actually getting a check and reinvest it into promoting the program so you can get bigger checks.
I'm telling you straight up, this will probably make a lot of people money. But it will not last. Some like short term gain and will jump from program to program to program. Many members of WF are Agloco members I'm sure because they are ADD junkies and they thrive on short term (look up arbitrage). There's also others who'd prefer to build up long term value in a property or program or niche that is guaranteed to be around for a while. Those people don't want to find themselves sitting around a pool in 5 years reliving the "good ol days" and retrying to make a failure successful. They would rather be earning 10 to 100x more in 5 years what they earn today.
And finally, beg and plead with a modfather to change your username. Would you still want to be known as "AllAdvantage_Pro" 5 years after its VC funds ran dry and it crapped out? Think in 5 years if this effort to build a personal brand as an Agloco guru will bring any kind of payout. If you choose to keep the name, I can admire that, but get ready to look like an assclown down the road. Of course I did think of using "Enron Lives" for my moniker on another forum, so whatev.
