Blogshares is a fantasy blog share trading game. Blogs have a value, defined by the number of links incoming, the number of links outgoing, and how much their shares are traded. There are 5000 shares per blog, unless it's split. When you sign up for the game, you get 500 virtual dollars, which you can then uses to buy shares. You can also claim your own blog, if it's listed (or get it listed and then claim it, if not) in which case you get 1000 shares in it. And then you buy and sell and try to make money. You don't have to use your own blog at all, I was trading for a few days before I picked up my own. I started by buying shares in Neil Gaiman's...

I suspect blogshares.com is why LJ has just added the ability to ping weblogs.com on public updates, too, since blogshares.com checks weblogs.com to find blogs to list.

All clear? Now go sign up, buy shares and make me money! :)
