BlogShares
You may have noticed that there is a link on the left hand side of the page to something called BlogShares.
This is a fantasy stock market where weblogs (blogs) are the companies. Players invest fictional dollars on shares in these blogs. The blogs are then valued by their incoming links and add value to other blogs by linking to them. Prices can go up or down based on trading and the underlying value of the blog. No actual ownership of blogs is transfered. BlogShares is purely a fictional marketplace.
A new player starts the game with 500 BlogDollars (B$) and I'm pleased to say that at the moment I've increased my value on the game to B$1,066,126,015.52 (yes, that's over 1 billion - if only I could do that on the real stock markets).
Why not drop by and have a look - it's great fun (but can be very addictive) and need not cost you any money to play, although you can sign up as a premium member for $15 per year and get extra functionality.
See you there some time!
