Nothing Lasts Forever... Online

In the wide world of web, some tech companies make it to the top and remain there while others enjoy only a five-minute fame. That means, even in the virtual world nothing is permanent. Though Google remains to be the top Internet company, engineers in the Silicon valley success-story company are working very hard to introduce new concepts that would make Google on top of the race.

Where is Agloco now? The Internet concept that promised us ownership of the world wide web has gone kapput! The concept of Agloco was simple and yet very promising - put a search tool in your browser and earn money by the hour that you use your computer and the Agloco Ad is flashed on the mini window.

Thousands of netizens were awed at the new internet concept. The promise of owning a share of the company's revenue was hard to resist. I must admit, I also signed up at Agloco. But where is Agloco now? It has gone to the dark pits without paying publishers.

There are a lot of other internet companies that have marketed themselves so hard, earned the clicks of internet users, but have fallen into the spiral pits of darkness in just a blink of an eye.

I wonder if I could be blessed with an Internet idea that will make me a household name in the future. Pitch in some of your thoughts.
