I 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• 17 years ago

So, is this an affiliate program/pyramid scheme mashup? That seems pretty clever.

jasonlbaptiste2• 17 years ago

It'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.

We 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.

i couldn't stand watching/listening to the guy. what's his message?

rodyancy• 17 years ago

If you can't stand that, don't read this 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.

In 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.

This 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!

Impossible is nothing.

And 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• 17 years ago

I got maybe halfway through before I had to close it.

jlangenauer• 17 years ago

Wow, 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".

Read the Terms and Conditions (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?

DDoS from people outside of the U.S.

darthbit2• 17 years ago

that would be awesome if their big launch on August 1st turned into a huge 404.

synnik• 17 years ago

I got two minutes in, and he still hadn't actually said anything. So I stopped listening.

rokhayakebe• 17 years ago

Frankly 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• 17 years ago

Check all the downtown Austin scenery as he talks. Does this dude live here?

dsil• 17 years ago

Oh my: "The economy is literally nose-diving."

Dilpil• 17 years ago

Is 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• 17 years ago

Thanks, I needed a laugh.

moe• 17 years ago

Hilarious. It just leaves a bitter taste as it wasn't meant to be satire?

darthbit2• 17 years ago

everyone Google iJango and click all the PPC ads. They are all ads by the reps.

sahaj• 17 years ago

isn't google already doing this? google is multi-leveling itself. google makes money from all these "think about it" activities that this dude describes.
