Heh, BlogShares was major fun. I’ve spent all the virtual money you get when you sign up (barely enough left for a virtual Big Mac), so let’s wait and see if I’ve invested in good stuff. Like, say, 20% (1000 shares) of Accessify.
I also bought 100 shares in The Economist — I’m guessing that news sites tend to increase in value rather quickly as soon as they appear on BlogShares. And 50 shares in Surfin’ Safari, just because Safari is a darn fine browser.
Mark Pilgrim is also hooked on BlogShares. I’ll steal his nice idea and make you a deal: if you give me 100 some shares of your blog, I’ll add a link to your blog in the “stock roll” section I’ll be adding if I can reel in some suckers on my offer. Outgoing links from my site are currently worth $76,15. Not much compared to Mark’s whopping $12,000, but I just started.
To give shares to me, use this link after you’ve logged in to BlogShares.
(20 minutes later) Whee! I bought Economist at 1.02, now they’re worth 1.82. That’s 80 bucks for my 100 shares. Yup, this will provide entertainment for quite a while.
Hey, you own my blogstock, but I’m not on your Stock Roll list.
My stock even doubled from $0.01 to $0.02 today! Woo-hoo!
