AGLOCO Closing on Queen Victoria and Kobe Bryant

Wow, lots of topics today.

I spend some of yesterday looking at the AGLOCO community sites such as AglocoYou, AglocoHype, and AGLOCO Across America. I also saw a bunch of sites with the AK and Ray Everett-Church interview on Scobleizer (here is one). With all the activity surrounding AGLOCO, AGLOFEEDS and AglocoDaily are good ways to keep on top of a bunch of these active AGLOCO blogs and websites. (I know I missed a lot of great blogs in this short list - it was just yesterday’s surfing for me. Please put a note in the comment section and I will check them out too.)

Oh, and I’m totally addicted to the Top Gun site. I’m sure there are a lot of “top guns” that still need to come forward!

Good news for Members and bloggers: Our AGLOCO Member Blog page should be on the website this week. Pease wait and see if you are already on it before sending note asking if we’ve included your blog. There will be a direct way on this page to make requests to Anne-Sophie of the AGLOCO team. This new blog page should resolve the early use of just one blog for our language tabs at the top of each website page.

Also, this week I am going to check with the AGLOCO software development team so I can give an update on the Viewbar. And I did note that some of you get questions about the $100 million dollars that AllAdvantage paid to members in 1999 and 2000. A good way to learn the facts on that is by reading the Wikipedia article.

For my fun item of the day, I have to give the prize to RZ McCall and his post on Google searches. He did a great job of showing just how much the AGLOCO Members have contributed so far. The fun part was his creative use of search to make his points.

I won’t spoil it, but here are just three paragraphs:

I put “Kobe Bryant” in Google – got 1,880,000 – that is more than AGLOCO, but then he has been an NBA superstar for 10 years now. Give AGLOCO another 90 days and it will be bigger than Kobe on the Internet. (I tried Wilt Chamberlain too - 694,000 so AGLOCO has already passed up Wilt.)

I decided to try some more famous people: Queen Victoria 1,650,000 – you remember Queen of England for 68 years – long enough and powerful enough to have a moral standard after her “Victorian Era” and an architectural style “Victorian Houses” – AGLOCO should pass her on the Internet by May.

I tried a few more famous people just for fun: “Tiger Woods” – 3,490,000 (but “Arnold Palmer” only 1,270,000 – AGLOCO might get near him by Valentines Day), “Theodore Roosevelt” – 1,530,000 and “Lyndon Johnson” – 1,160,000 (“John F Kennedy” came in at 4,930,000 – right next to “Tom Cruise” at 4,720,000) - “Britney Spears” was at 17,800,000, so what does that tell you about the world?

Have a great day.

Interesting site of the day: Has to be McCall’s Notes.
