Why AGLOCO Will Win?
It’s the Members -- you and me and the thousands of active Members out there already… everywhere.
It is always the people who make the organization – whether it is AGLOCO, YouTube, eBay, Craig’s List or even Yahoo. You and me - We make it popular. We contribute our time and our energy. We make it happen. And We will rally behind people and concepts We think are good. This is why AGLOCO will win. Because, We, the people, are already starting to rally.
You can see it. You can hear it. AND you can even sometimes feel it. The AGLOCO network is growing stronger every day… in every direction.
Sure, the AGLOCO membership grows by thousands every day. But, that is just one dimension. More important is the growth of the community around the membership.
By community, I mean what members are doing, what members are saying and what they are building. Let’s look.
- John Chow (one of my favorite daily blogs to read) is taking the time to write extensively his views on why he is supporting AGLOCO http://www.johnchow.com/category/agloco/ His latest post gives a very detailed account of why AGLOCO can be a big winner on the Internet and on how his readers can position themselves to share in that.
- Some of the many community service blogs:
- There are the more serious AGLOCO sites which discuss the economic, political and social aspects of this brand new community:
Of course there are thousands of recruiting sites and blog entries on regular spaces like MySpace. Simon, the creator of AGLOCO Rocks, was sited in the recent AGLOCO Update email for having a fun recruiting site. But what I find more interesting than just his site is that people in the community help each other, learn from each other and will build the network together much as they did at eBay. http://allaboutagloco.blogspot.com/2007/01/agloco-update-2.html is a site built by one of Simon/AGLOCO Rocks recruits and obviously he was inspired by Simon.
Even the traditional media is picking up the story - Red Herring’s current print issue has an article in it on AGLOCO – nice picture at Stanford. Traditional tech bloggers like VentureBeat http://venturebeat.com/2006/12/20/agloco-signs-up-tens-of-thousands-and-hasnt-even-released-viewbar etc. continue to check the progress. They are sensing what you sensing. The early growth of a new form of entity on the Internet. What they may not have sensed yet, is just how strong and powerful an entity it can be when the full force of its members is brought forward.
AGLOCO’s community right now is a founders’ community, a pre-launch community. It is already showing the foundation needed to build a great Internet community. Maybe… just maybe… it is the first of the great Internet communities. Because, unlike all of the proceeding communities, this one will be owned by its members and therefore run for the benefit of the community, not some ‘well meaning shareholders’.
Have a great day,
RZ
BTW – I really like watching John Chow grow his blog. – He has set a goal of being a top 100 in the world Technorati rated blogger. He wrote that he went under1,000 a few days ago and I noticed he was under 900 now. Nice John – I hope it is helped by lots of AGLOCO links to your blog.
BTW 2 – in response to many questions I get about this blog – yes you may copy and paste it for tasteful and appropriate promotion of AGLOCO – a strong growing network will benefit all members.
