Sharing and (maybe) caring


Looking around the interweb last night and feeling in a bit of an egotistical mood, I thought I’d check to see how many other people linked to me. And the answer was…. well, not many. Do I care? Yes, a little, if I’m being honest!
But one of the links did interest me. Apparently my site is listed on Blogshares, and what’s more, a couple of people had bought shares in me. I’d seen blogshares before, a few months ago, but it was about two o’clock in the morning and I wasn’t really in the mood to see what it was all about. So I promptly forgot all about it. But seeing that I’m now being traded on a virtual stock market I thought I’d now pay a bit more attention.
So if you scroll down the page a bit (the main index page, that is) you’ll see a new link section for BlogShares. I’ve claimed my blog, bought some shares in Annie‘s blog, and am making a grovelling request for anyone who feels like linking to me to do so, because as well as making me feel more wanted, it will also increase the value of my blog! Also, there are 250 unclaimed shares in my blog up for grabs, so get ‘em while they’re good.
I’ve no idea how much I’ll play on the virtual blog stock market, but hey, it’s something to keep an eye on :-)

    Woo-hoo! I’m a commodity!
    Someone else linked me, which caused me to be in BlogShares and I still don’t get it. Could you explain it, please?

    Back again via Michele.
    I’ve bookmarked the Blogshares link for future perusal, but for now I need to open a beer and start the grill!

    Annie,
    I’ve got no idea how your blog (or indeed my blog) got listed. I think they must have a program that crawls the internet looking for blogs to add to the game. But hey, since they’re both there, I’m willing to trade :-)

    I’ve never heard of Blogshares; I’ll take a look.
    Michele sent me here.

    Hi Daniel. I saw your link on Michele’s and thought I’d drop by. Glad I did!
    Funny you should mention BlogShares. I found myself there, quite by accident, a few months ago and also wondered what the deal was. It seems like a cute resource to waste a few minutes on; one of the many that seem to have popped up in the blogosphere over the last couple of years.
    Either way, it’s kinda neat.
