The Company: IJango is a new network marketing company based in Austin, TX. The company’s president is Steve Smith. Smith is one of the founders of Excel Communications, the nation’s fourth largest long distance carrier. Steve has a history of building successful businesses. Excel Communications became a billion dollar company 9 years faster than Microsoft and is also the youngest company ever to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The platform: iJango is a new fully customizable web portal. It can be used as a home page where you can access almost anything on the Internet without leaving the portal.

Unlike some programs, such as Alladvantage and Agloco (which are nothing more than toolbars), the iJango portal can be used as a home page.

As a user: Users of the web portal can fully customize their page to the point where they do not have to leave the page to access other sites. Users can add the widgets of the sites they want to access to your web portal. It’s like adding apps to an iPhone.

To better understand what a web portal is, think of the front pages of MSN, Yahoo and AOL.

On these pages, all information is sectioned off. There is a news section, an entertainment section, a finance section, etc. Companies provide the information they think their viewers want to see.

Now imagine being able to modify these pages to the point where you can even add a section where you can check your Facebook messages or a section where you can group all the bills you pay online. That’s the power of iJango portal customization.

As a distributor: Giants like Google and Yahoo get their money from companies that pay them to advertise on their site. So even though they are free to users, sites like Google and Yahoo still make substantial revenue from their ad revenue.

iJango works the same way… except for one thing. The company has combined that aspect of Internet commerce with network marketing, allowing portal distributors to receive a percentage of the revenue generated from the use of the web portal.
