AGLOCO: The Internet's First Economic Network
Currently, the most popular Internet businesses are built on the power of social networks. Take a look at companies like MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube who have become worth billions because other businesses realize that these social networks are generating huge advertising and marketing opportunities.
AGLOCO has asked a simple question: "The users created the community, where’s their share of the profit?"
From that very question, AGLOCO set out to create the Internet’s first Economic Network by using the strength of social networks to directly benefit the Members who build the community.
Becoming a member of AGLOCO is as simple as completing a simple sign-up page (name, age, location and email address.). Once you’re a Member, you will be asked to then download the Viewbar™ software.
The Ways AGLOCO Makes Money for Its Members
Search: Each time you use the Viewbar™ to do an Internet search, AGLOCO earns money from the search engine providers. (Google pays as much as $0.10 on average for each search that is directed to its search engine.)
Advertising: The AGLOCO's Viewbar™ displays ads that are specialized to you. Through clicking on an ad and/or making a purchase, AGLOCO receives a referral fee, which we then pass on to our Members. (Please note: Individual members do not receive any compensation for clicking on ads in the Viewbar™, and the Viewbar™ can detect if someone is clicking ads in a fraudulent manner.)
Transaction commissions: Many major retailers pay commissions when you refer customers who make a purchase. AGLOCO collects that commission and passes it on to our members. (For example, Amazon pays an 8.5% commission to most websites who refer customers, and has cut deals for even larger percentages. The bigger the AGLOCO community, the better commission we can negotiate for our Members.)
Software distribution: Numerous software companies pay websites to encourage the download of new software releases (for example, Adobe’s Flash and Acrobat Reader software), and trial versions of new programs. AGLOCO members not only get access to the latest and coolest software, they get paid for it.
Service distribution: Many online service providers will look to the AGLOCO community as a source of new and active users for their services. (For example, eBay, Skype, and PayPal, among others, all pay fees to people who help them recruit new active users to their services)
Product distribution: When Members agree to use a product, such as cell phones, high-tech gadgets, office supplies, new credit cards or financial services, AGLOCO can collect referral fees. Some companies even offer special rebate and cash-back programs.
AGLOCO Members make money in four ways.
Members earn a monthly share of the AGLOCO revenue based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month.
Members earn part of the company based on the use of the AGLOCO Viewbar™ that month (currently a maximum of five hours are rewarded).
Members who use our referral system to help build the AGLOCO network will earn more.
Members will also get a share of any commissions AGLOCO gets when a Member purchases a product or service from an AGLOCO Sponsor company.

SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES - TIPS FOR SAFETY
The recent incident in Mumbai where in a young boy was abducted by his so called friends made in Orkut and then cruelly murdered, has brought in lime light, the evils associated with the networking sites.
There are currently several social networking websites suitable for all ages and groups. However, what has caught the fancy of teens are the websites like Orkut, MySpace, Friendster, Bebo, Dada etc. The website is an easy platform where in you meet friends online, share interests and just hang out. These web sites offer various ways to get connected, common being an internal email system, chat, blog etc. With the development in technology, you can even remain connected to the internet on your cell phone. So where ever you are, you stay connected to your friend online in real time, virtually 24/7.
But as with any popular meeting place, there are predators and bullies waiting to take advantage of the ill-informed. If you enjoy those cyber-hang outs, you need to protect yourself.
The good news? It just takes a bit of knowledge and the right security tools.
Since social networking is about making friends, you should be very selective in choosing your friend. Rather than being very friendly with any individual who meets you online, it is safer to make a friend who is known to you or is a friend of your friend. References do work…so try to be careful and selective, when making a friend.
If any newly made friend is sending provocative or offensive messages, it is wiser to ignore them, rather than getting involved in an altercation or a “mail war”. You don’t have to respond to everybody and everything! Just ignore whatever “does not feel right” and let the messages go into oblivion. You should also consider whether to let the person continue as a friend or remove him / her from the list.
Your login and password are important! They are not to be shared, even with friends. Most of these websites have free registration and becoming a member is free. If a “friend” asks for your login and password, just ask yourself why he can’t get his own...). Stealing user names and passwords is a common trick in social platforms.
Be careful about what you say about yourself or your family! You never know the intentions of the person at the other end. If the person is very well known to you, you can discuss personal details, if you feel comfortable discussing them. However, be very cautious and restrictive when discussing with strangers or newly made friend.
Be very careful when writing anything on the posts. Anybody can read your posts, and for a long time after you’ve written them. Some people just enjoy reading post of others. However, imagine you have written something about your boss and he stumbles upon your post and reads it!! I am sure you would not like to jeopardize your promotion or job. Or if you are a student and have written something about your teacher and (s)he reads it, how embarrassing it can be.
Always keep in mind that there are predators ready to pounce on you. Whenever you’re about to post something, ask yourself if someone would be able to get back to you in real-life with that information. If so, then sanitize your post! Don’t give any clue to your actual identity (school names, class schedules, phone numbers, etc.).
Never get together alone with someone you meet online. This represents the biggest danger to your safety. If you decide to meet someone, talk to your parents first and then meet in a public area, preferably with friends.
When you download content from other users (songs, videos, documents, etc.), you open your computer to hackers. With a well-crafted Trojan horse, they can wipe out your pictures and music, or steal your passwords and really make a fool out of you. To guard against these risks, make sure your Internet security program has a firewall and an antispyware tool that work with other parts of your security system to protect your stuff and your computer from hackers, viruses, worms and Trojan horses.
Conclusion
Yes, Social Networking Sites are great. And you can enjoy expressing yourself the way you want to as well as stay connected with your friends. But, as in real life, you’d be a fool to think you can do it without taking some precautions. With a bit of forethought and our advice, you can keep your information safe against security threats and continue to enjoy the many social opportunities of the Internet. Stay smart, keep up with networking site scams and make sure your computer has security tools like Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security. Have fun!
