How Does an Internet Revolution Start?
February 5th, 2007 by haroldbbbg1619I call my blog The AGLOCO Revolution – a better name might have been The Internet Revolution. I think AGLOCO is just going to ‘ride the wave’ of a Revolution that is happening.
The Revolution is that the Users of the Internet are the Creators of the Internet and should be the Owners of the Internet. And I mean this in the truly capitalistic way.
AGLOCO is not a socialist idea (no socialist would ever use the referral system to reward the builders of member network). No, AGLOCO is a very capitalist idea. (the company has a bunch of Stanford MBA’s working for it – they are capitalists I am pretty sure).
So how does it start?
Look around… You are starting it.
Like most revolutions the AGLOCO Revolution has been coming along for years. My previous post notes that Bill Gates was advocating paying users almost a year before the AGLOCO pre-launch website was posted on the Internet. And in 1999, some of the AGLOCO founders started AllAdvantage.com and it paid over $100 million to its members in less than two years - but it was owned by a bunch of venture capitalists and AGLOCO will be owned by its members. YouTube’s announcement that they will pay for content is not new. It is just a step along the trail (but even in YouTube, Google owns the company – not the user/creators.)
Yes – You are starting this revolution.
