The Company: IJango is a new network marketing company based in Austin, TX. The president of the company is Steve Smith. Smith is one of the founders of Excel Communications, the fourth largest long distance telephone service operator in the country. Steve has a track record of building successful businesses. Excel Communications grew into a billion dollar company 9 years faster than Microsoft and is also the youngest company to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The platform: iJango is a new and 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 their web portal. It is like adding applications to an iPhone.

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

On these pages, all the information is sectioned. 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 personalization.

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

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