David Raynes has created a MT-Plugin that allows you to track your Blogshares value on your site. You can get it here, and you can see it in action on my sidebar for the two skins with the photos on the top. I’ll edit the rest later this week.
I finally took the time to look around and investigate the whole Blogshares thing. I’m still bummed because I goofed up and didn’t confirm my account when the site went from alpha to beta mode, so I’m no longer uber-cool number 52 – now I’m less uber-cool number 1996. Oh well, I’ll survive…
I bought a lot of stocks today. Ok, I bought a TON of stock today. But I can’t help but wonder … for the blogs where I have a clear controlling share, do I get to blog there now too? I mean, if I own over 3000 shares of a blog that only has 5000 shares, doesn’t that make me the controlling shareholder? Do I get to dictate what the blog says, what it represents, that sort of thing? If so, you can expect to see my influence at the following sites:
:: Blogland
:: Tainted Melodies
:: Just Another Day
I also have a definite strong vested interest in the following:
:: Alysha Jane
:: Prose, Poems and Thorns
:: Bozzy’s Angels
:: The 26th Year – An American in Belgium (oooo… pretty!)
:: Gearheads Anonymous
:: Phil Ringnalda
:: Kiss My Blog (also known as Dania’s Dailies, but I bought up stock in her new blog, so I wonder how that works?)
:: Vents and Rambles
:: Stacey George (I have loved her site for a long time!)
You can keep an eye on my portfolio right here in case you’re curious about who else I own. Maybe I own a piece of you? If you want, you can own a piece of me too!
Now if only PlayaPixie and Pixelog would go public! I need to pick up some Plasic Fruit stock too – I just love the site!
I can’t wait until Dawn’s site, Playapixie, goes public so I can buy some stock in her site….
Whooo hooo! All my ass-kissing in the previous year and especially at SXSW (you read about the whole book signing thing, right?) finally paid off! I didn’t win any of the Bloggies I was up for, and the SXSW Web Award that Pixelog was up for was passed on to Griff, but damn it ….
I won a Davezilla and Leia for letting me suck up to them! (I even have photographic evidence here and here, along with about 25 other “Picture Yourself-style” photos with other bloggers.)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I won! I won!
* Please Note: Throughout this post, there is meant to be humor and sarcasm. Well, I’m glad that I won, but I don’t want people to feel alienated or anything. I mean, you guys already don’t leave comments … and I promise, I’m really nice, so you should … I want to hear from you; winning this hasn’t gone to my head at all. Promise. I still love you – all of you!
The pope has taken to blogging at Joi Ito’s and he even has MT set up already!
