The Agloco Viewbar – Update on Release Date

May 15, 2007 by Geeks are Sexy | 0 comments

For those of you who signed up for Agloco through us, you’ll be happy to learn that the viewbar will be out in a week or two. Our friend John over at John Chow dot com received an almost ready to be released version from the folks at Agloco and was nice enough to film it in action for us.

The Viewbar software is a 1.8 MB download. When installed, it takes up 5 MB of space. The Viewbar is not any bigger than the Windows task bar. The version I am running shows ads by Google and Google is the default search engine. The ads are not targeted at the moment because it hits only one ad server. The rest of the ad servers have not been connected.

Besides allowing us to make money while surfing the Internet, the Viewbar does offer some useful tools. It has a nice Google search box and keeps tracks of all your favorites from Internet Explore and FireFox. There is also a quick link to the Windows calculator and calendar. I’m sure more features will be added in later versions.
