BlogShares…

May 9, 2005


I think I might be playing it wrong.

I own all of YanksBlog.com and 3,981 of 5,000 of this site.

Is that what I’m supposed to do…? Hmm… no idea.

    You can do whatever you want. You’ll still own your blog even if you sell all of the stock. The stock trading is just the way to make money on the site.

    I played it a while back and was actually #2 for 2 months during their contest. I never collected my prize because of the form you had to fill out and I didn’t compete the 3rd month because thee was no way for me to beat the top guy because he was using scripts/bots to play the game. The site was moving so slow then I couldn’t make my moves in a timely manner and so quit playing. It was fun though, very. They also have it pretty crippled now if you aren’t a paying member. I was trying to get back into it a while back and your searches get queued up, there are 5-6 month old notices about parts of the site being in beta, stuff that didn’t work. It’s a shame because I was totally hooked. I’m still sitting on $298,024,883.56 if they get their stuff together I might get back into it ;)

    Ah, I see.

    I just like buying my sites for the moment. :) Don’t really play the game too much.
