- jasonlbaptiste 17y agoI hope that one day MLM/ network marketing is made illegal. My two favorite quotes: "What if you could multi-level Google?" "We proceeded to file patents to protect the idea!"
- jibiki 17y agoSo, is this an affiliate program/pyramid scheme mashup? That seems pretty clever.
- jasonlbaptiste 17y agoIt's network marketing pyramid scheme of Netvibes. I don't know where these people come from. Do they breed them somewhere? "We did research to see if anyone else did this before. NO ONE HAS. So we filed patents"... Yup no one has done an internet start page before. Sigh.
- unalone 17y agoWe have them on Hacker News too. They crawl around the #startups channel. Some people care more about a quick buck than they do about making good things. There's nothing wrong with that, though I'll never quite understand their obsessions.
- iamwil 17y agoI'll venture to say there's something wrong with just making the quick buck. Unless you're starving, I don't really see it as a good excuse. It seems when one's life is in the pursuit for money for its own end and meaning, it's easy chase after things you don't really want in life. In addition, it makes it easier to do careless things to others, stifle innovation, and harm the environment, because you're just optimizing on money. And in the end, the great businessmen of yesteryear are mostly remembered from how they benefited humanity. Hardly anyone knows or remembers exactly how much Ford and Rockerfeller made off the top of their head.
- unalone 17y agoI have similar sentiments, but I won't call it outright wrong. I just don't spend my time dealing with the money-grabbers. Their lifestyle doesn't appeal to me.
- cliffdickerson 17y agoAt this risk of sounding stupid, what is this #startups channel? # like irc?
- jasoncartwright 17y agoSome info about this chap: http://www.clicksniper.com/ijango-scam-cameron-sharpe/ http://www.clicksniper.com/ijango-scam-cameron-sharpe/
- there 17y agoi couldn't stand watching/listening to the guy. what's his message?
- rodyancy 17y agoIf you can't stand that, don't read this http://cameronbsharpe.com/ http://cameronbsharpe.com/ It is his attempt to redeem himself after making a bunch of money and babies, drinking too much and snorting a bunch of cocaine, and ripping a bunch of people off. Any product or service that provides real value to customers doesn't need MLM to succeed. That being said, these schemes make their founders a ton of money. SkyBiz was an internet based MLM in 2002. Their revenue was said to be 200 million a year. Although, eventually the FTC filed a civil suit and through a settlement forced them to close down.
- stanleydrew 17y agoIn that life-story he keeps claiming that this incarnation of his life isn't based on selfish pursuits, that he's changed. Supposedly ijango is going to be good for everyone, and make everyone's life better. I don't understand how this ponzi scheme isn't selfish though. I mean the whole company is set up to get more and more people paying the affiliate fees or whatever right? There's zero discussion of what product or service they will offer. They aren't planning to create any value with this thing. That seems selfish.
- speby 17y agoThis poor dude... probably has the neural capacity to learn and be intelligent. Sadly, he's the same type of fad monkey trying to call the kettle black and hoping to get rich quick. Oh well, I'm hope he'll learn by experimentation. Well, at least he's got a cool car and slick loafers. YEA!
- sutro 17y agoImpossible is nothing.
- limmeau 17y agoAnd I thought he would at some point finally talk about new features of the 1.1 release. Well, thinking time's over for today.
- joshu 17y agoI got maybe halfway through before I had to close it.
- jlangenauer 17y agoWow, that was truly awful. But I did learn something: the word "habitually" should never be used in speech, unless you want to encourage your listeners to think of the word "bitch".
- seekely 17y agoRead the Terms and Conditions (http://www.ijango.biz/Portals/1/IJANGOTermsConditions072809.pdf http://www.ijango.biz/Portals/1/IJANGOTermsConditions072809....) to find out what $149 + $19.99 monthly fee can buy you! I feel angered for all the people that will inevitably be burned by iJango. What are the options to getting something like this shutdown or at least investigated? What is the likelihood this will succeed?
- synnik 17y agoI got two minutes in, and he still hadn't actually said anything. So I stopped listening.
- rokhayakebe 17y agoFrankly I found this guy rather hilarious. I don't even think there is a point in saying he is just trying to screw a few hopeful who think they can make money from doing nothing.
- cote 17y agoCheck all the downtown Austin scenery as he talks. Does this dude live here?
- dsil 17y agoOh my: "The economy is literally nose-diving."
- Dilpil 17y agoIs this an affiliate marketing scam or a parody of affiliate marketing scams? I mean the guy is so full of shit that he cannot possibly be for real. Oh and there is a link on the front page that leads to the front page. Also, the name seems far too silly. The compensation plan begins with the phrase "At iJango, we are committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity". And really, the center of the internet?
- aupajo 17y agoThanks, I needed a laugh.
- moe 17y agoHilarious. It just leaves a bitter taste as it wasn't meant to be satire?
- darthbit 17y agoeveryone Google iJango and click all the PPC ads. They are all ads by the reps.
- sahaj 17y agoisn't google already doing this? google is multi-leveling itself. google makes money from all these "think about it" activities that this dude describes.
