Buy! Buy! Buy!

You may be familiar with blogshares.com, a fantasy stock market site for blogs. You can buy, sell and trade shares of practically any blog. It's entertaining, but I can't help thinking that it would be more fun if there was actual money involved.

It would be more exciting to improve my own blog (create an attractive template, write while sober, and perhaps even spell check now and then) if it might actually turn into profit - and it would be a thrill to see my favorite blogs rocket to the top, taking their stock prices and my dividends right along with them.

Maybe we should all pool our resources and start a real Blog Stock Exchange? Wish I coulda bought Dooce when it was still at $20.

  1. I find it interesting...no, telling that you made your blog have the lowest price of any on the ticker.

  2. Sad but true fact - I got all the quotes from Blogshares.com - they're the actual prices, as of last night.

  3. I refuse to click the link. I need no more obsessions, especially blog related ones.

  4. I've been removed as the head of WITFITS due to my artificially inflating the worth of my blog via humorous links.

  5. Kato - Ha Ha ha! I'd wondered how your price was so wonderously in the black. Humorous links, eyy? Hmn...

  6. Don't post stuff like that; I'm too competetive!

  7. Ooh, nice ticker. I hate to say it (esp as a buss. major), but I have no interest in anything stock market-ish.

  8. I forgot all about blogshares until you posted this.

    Played around for 15 minutes with it this afternoon (after 10 minutes trying to remember my password)...and made an extra ten grand.

    If only the real stockmarket was that easy.
