After months of what I can only describe as the most painful birth of a company the world has ever seen, the AGLOCO Viewbar finally arrived kicking and screaming.

I’m glad to say all it’s bits are there and they are intact

I’ve been a tentative supporter of AGLOCO throughout its development and it’s encouraging to see the Viewbar up and running. However, a lot still has to happen before we start seeing any scrumptious AGLOCO checks.

I’m predicting that this first month will be very important in determining AGLOCO’s success. It will largely consist of the masses dwindling numbers of loyal supporters downloading the Viewbar and doing their best to get their referrals to do the same. There will also be a promotional ‘mini-boom’ where AGLOCO fans utilise the Viewbar’s release to further promote AGLOCO and gain referrals.

Naturally I hope AGLOCO goes well and takes off again, but I must admit, it’s extremely painful to write about because I am so unbelievably aware of the ‘old-hatness’ of it all.

As far as I can see there are 5 stances taken towards AGLOCO.

1. The loyal fans, many of whom are bloggers and will post about the Viewbar release in the next few days as they download it.

2. People who used to be exited about AGLOCO but lost interest. Many of them will download the Viewbar once they are reminded of it.

3. The people who signed up on a whim due to the excessive promotion that was going on a couple of months ago. These form the majority of the AGLOCO network and probably won’t ever use the Viewbar.

4. The naysayers who gained publicity by pointing out AGLOCO’s flaws. This is a small group but because of their influence on those who fall into group 3 they deserve a mention.

5. The people who have never heard of AGLOCO. This many seem to many of us like a tiny minority but I think this group is surprisingly large. It is important to remember just how fast the ‘blogosphere’ and ‘make money online’ niche, (not to mention the Web as a whole) is growing and a lot of new web entrepreneurs will have joined us since the chatter about AGLOCO died down.

Technically I fall into group 1 although I’m not much of an AGLOCO fanboy, I’m just up-to-date.

I downloaded my AGLOCO Viewbar this morning. Here’s a screenshot of what it looks like.

Evaluation
It’s no Paris Hilton (probably a good thing at the moment!) but it is pretty unobtrusive. I was glad to download the Viewbar, but I’m not about to go into the age old arguments about whether there is ‘anything to lose’ or not. Forget the referral bait and forget the hype. You decide.
