BlogShares

There's a game running on the Net that is all about blogs. The game is BlogShares.

Blogshares is a simulated, fantasy stock market for Blogs where players invest fictional money to buy stocks and bonds in an artificial economy. Weblogs are the companies, producing commodities called 'Ideas'. Created in 2003 by Seyed Razavi, the game suffered a near-fatal crash in late 2003, only to be salvaged by Jay Campbell of Santa Cruz Tech, with much assistance from player/codemonkey Suburban Wolf. Today, the game has thousands of active members, tracking well over 2 million blogs.

To Blogshares related stuff, I created a new Blog. It's the BlogShares News and it's totally about this game and related. If you're curious, take a look.
