We are particularly excited that as A GLObal COmmunity we launched with the full site in English and Chinese (including the Member sign up database). We wanted to launch in ten languages, but with Member Services needs and startup resources we need to wait a bit before we can do it.
There has been a lot of blogging about AGLOCO prior to our launch – and as often happens when people are early (sometimes too early) they spread misinformation. Here are a few issues we would like to address:
Privacy – let's put this straight – AGLOCO has one of the strictest privacy policies on the Internet – certainly more restrictive than other online giants.Excitement here is high as the AGLOCO website was rolled out for public access today.

AGLOCO NEVER gives any information on any Member to anyone - that means NO information at any time -except if required by law. All information sent between the Viewbar on Member computers and ALGOCO servers on the Internet is encrypted, so it can go through the companies who provide Internet services (like your ISP) securely.
Our signup ONLY asks for Member name, email address, residence (city, country and postal code) and age (for legal reasons). In fact, this is nothing more than most other websites to which you have to sign up in order to access their services.
Pyramid – Another big misconception we have seen over the last few days.
Pyramid schemes are where people (at the bottom) pay money to join, and this money goes to the people who referred them (those at the top). Wikipedia has a nice description. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme
AGLOCO is NOT a pyramid scheme for the following simple reasons:
* No Member ever pays AGLOCO (or any other Member) any money at any time.
* AGLOCO is the opposite of a pyramid scheme, since we pay out money to all active Members.
* All Members earn distributions at the same rate no matter when they joined. Members who refer new Members can earn more for building out the AGLOCO network. And we do use a multilevel system for this reward.
It’s your company. Own it. Let’s build A GLObal Community!
