The things one finds on the web...
Now, I've heard of "fantasy football" leagues, and even "fantasy stock picking" where people buy and sell stocks using imaginary money... or is that the actual stock market? Could actually be good practice before deciding to invest real money in the Wall Street Casino. But the other day, I stumbled upon "Blogshares" where people pretend to invest in various blogs as if they were stocks and somehow they determine valuations and performance and such. The fact that this exists strikes me as doubly "fantastic" -- using imaginary money to buy and sell shares in things without actual prices. Maybe it's the speculation as to the value of the content in terms of potential ad appeal, and the number of links seems to have some bearing. Anyway, if you'd care to "invest" in this little blog o' mine, check out my Blogshares prospectus. Remember, buy low, sell high.
Almost forgot... my prospectus has this ominous warning: "Implications and Experience suffered a huge setback with several analysts urging their clients to ditch the stock as it suffered a public relations disaster." I have NO clue what that's referring too... fantasy PR disasters?
This is Dreamscapes, just because she rocks. ;)

The PR Disaster (as it's called) is part of the way the game is played.
In this case (the most recent I looked at) Honey4Ever used a game device to crash the price of your stock so she could buy it up on the cheap.
If you are curious, I can explain how it all works (and tell you how to go about owning your shares... The game is free, though it has the possibility of becoming a trifle addictive).
If you do want to play, let me know, and tips, tricks and small kick-start will be forthcoming.
Just one shooter/blogger to another.
