Something Bizarre
So, I was browsing around the internet, and I happened to stumble upon this one site: http://blogshares.com/ — a site where people “sell” and “buy” shares in blogs. All of it in imaginary of course, there is no money actually being spent/made. All in all it seems like a thing that might consume one but provide him with lots of economic fun.
If that were all that’s to it, I wouldn’t have even written about it, but what struct me as odd is the seriousness with which they take it. The site rules explicitly forbid having multiple accounts, but some people do it anyway (of course.) Here’s the interesting thing, go look at this forum post which details the “trial” of a user(s?) accused of being one and the same. Scarry what energy these people put into it.
P.S. I searched around, an I did find that it indexed my blogspot url few months back, but then it stopped. I guess, my blog is worthless ;-)
