Listed on Blogshares
As of yesterday, June 6, 2003, The Dagley Dagley Daily is listed on Blogshares, a fantasy stock market for weblogs that now has a total (virtual) market capitalization of $10,207,843,189.60. Blogs are valued based on their outgoing and incoming links (far more for the latter), as well as market demand. Right now it's just play money, but at least two Blogshare investors have turned their holdings into legal tender. In signing up for Blogshares, we also got $500 fantasy dollars to invest, which we spent quickly. Our picks: William Gibson, valued at $242.83; Charlie Stough's Newsgorilla at $0.23; Lawrence Lessig at $15.69; Salam Pax at $82.09. This blog is currently valued at $0.26 per share.
You don't have to be a blogger to play along; just register and you, too, can get an imaginary $500 to spend on the blogs of your choice.
