I’ve recently discovered quite an interesting real time game on the internet, and one that is blog related. “BlogShares” takes information regarding incoming and outgoing links from a lot of blogs on the internet, and then calculates their “net worth” (excuse the pun). Users can then buy shares in any number of blogs, and sell them if the blog starts doing badly (i.e. less links are found going to it). I thought this was quite a clever idea so I registered, and low and behold found The Atheist Blogger (my other blog) on there…and doing rather well.
I told the system that I owned the blog, proved it with some html on the main page, and was given 1000 shares that were being reserved for the owner. These shares (thanks to the massive amount of people visiting and linking to my blog) were worth $15,000,000 each at the time, so I’ve now got a nice net worth of $15 billion. I’m unfortunately not majority owner of the “company”. That honour goes to a fellow by the name of “The Undertaker”, who has a net worth of $2,248,152,639,818,087.00. Yes, I worked it out…that’s 1000 trillion (or a quadrillion).
Anyway, it’s quite a fun game, and since it’s in real time you only need to spend a few minutes on it every day trading stocks…that is, until you start earning big!

What an odd idea, I just checked mine and I’m worth $6B, it’s a bit ordinary that someone else ‘owns’ your company. Mine has one other owner who’s worth $24B!
