The “hot new meme” out there is BlogShares<\/a>, which sort of acts like a fantasy stock market for blogs, based on incoming links and outgoing links. The more links you have going to you, the more valuable your stock, and the more valuable the links you make to others. Etc., etc., etc. I’m sure there are ways to game this (getting Dave Barry to link to you would seem to be one), but it’s still sort of fascinating in an incomprehensible way.<\/p>\n

For the record<\/a>, Dave Does the Blog <\/i>is worth $2,004.82 (this afternoon), and shares are going for $1.30 each. My P\/E is 3.24, which I think means I’m overvalued (feeding into my own paranoia about same). Outbound links from me are worth $2,104.82, but that’s a bit misleading because it’s not detecting any from me at the moment (I think it has problems with Blogroll.com link lists timing out during its scans).<\/p>\n

I’m not sure what all of the above means, but it’s intersting to contemplate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
