The Market Is Slightly Down From Last Month
God forbid I should write last night, so I Googled myself instead and found out that my blog is a traded stock. Amazing, no one openly puts that kind of faith in me but the Missus, the Mother-In-Law and a few close friends.
Yet there it is and all I can say is, "huh?"
http://blogshares.com/blogs.php?blog=http%3A%2F%2Fwriteprocrastinator.blogspot.com%2F&PHPSESSID=148102713ad350efc121b48eba02d7ed
Me? I would've gone with the well-knowns and the ones on the rise that are listed in my links, as well as:
The non-screenwriting Todd
http://vivalasvegass.blogspot.com/
Pants
http://melliferouspants.blogspot.com/
Kris
http://mamalikey.blogspot.com/
Dusty
http://www.atlantaillustrated.com/blogs/blog02/
Peggy
http://filmhacks.blogspot.com/
and Rissa
http://tequilashots.blogspot.com/ for their quality blogs, traffic and linkage which I imagine are the criteria for a blog stock making big fictional bank.
Not to mention, The Hoochie
http://thehoochie.blogspot.com/
and Katie, yet again, http://katieschwartz.blogspot.com/ 'cause they crack me up and for their candor. They're worth the visit.
This cat apparently owns the largest amount of shares of my blog

Drop by his blog and say something nice. Or at least pray that his real life business savvy does not reflect his investment in me, the dotcom bust of blogs. Let me stop being an ingrate and say, thank you, Atlas.

I don't understand Blogshares. I was never good at Economics.
I'm not good at Economics either, but like I said, I imagine that Blogshares would have based it on:
1) The quality of the blog. I can't sustain the same level as you and everybody that I've linked, on a daily or a weekly level.
2) Traffic. No offense to what little audience I have but I doubt that I have even twenty regular weekly readers. That relates to #1.
3) Linkage. Technorati uses this as their sole criteria and those blogs not listed with Technorati, don't count. Blogshares basically hints that they do the same and that's fair because both business need the web traffic to exist.
It's not my criteria however, for linking anyone to my blog. It's whether I like to the blog or not.
Other than that, it's all Greek to me.
So...I didn't even know my blog was on there. Apparently it's worth 15,263.88 Blog Bucks. I still don't understand what that means. When did blogging get so complicated?
I'm going to email Atlas and ask, if I can remember to get around to it.
your blog is worth over 4 g's. congratulations! that's a testament to what a great ranting raving writer you are :)
And by candor you mean potty mouth? ;)
And thanks muchly for the compliment! That made my day.
Katie,
Naw it merely reflects link-related traffic. *YOU* are the *MAN*...er, *WOMAN.*
Hoochie,
You're welcome and thank you much for dropping by. No, I mean candor because I would love to talk about co-workers, neighbors and relations like that. But I fear legal and other nasty retributions.
