I’m obviously missing something here, or maybe it’s in the docs but I didn’t read that paragraph. Why do people hoard shares of a particular blog on BlogShares?
Is it to show support for that site? Is it a longterm investment? (that could be one possible answer, if you expect a site to be linked to heavily it’s going to increase in value.)
My blog has a few investors who are in for the long haul. I recently sold all my stock in my blog and made a tidy profit, but if there’s no liquidity, then it’s just paper money (ok, never mind the fact that it’s all virtual money anyway..)
If you check my Blogshares profile you’ll see I have a few shares in davespicks.com. Why do I keep them? Dave’s a nice guy, and gave me shares in his site. Share dealing hasn’t been very liquid though so I’ve held on to them in the belief that someone else will sell and I can buy a few more shares at a cut down price.
Huh. Greed. As simple as that!

AOL Bloggers?
Dave wants feedback and reviews from AOL bloggers. No doubt the reviews will come rolling in, but I doubt scripting.com is at the top of the average AOL user’s bookmarks page.

Go on! Pay up, ya thieves!
SCO is giving the “tainted” Linux users out there a way to clean up their filthy ways via a licensing program that will begin in the coming weeks.
After dolling out threats of legal action, SCO has called on enterprise Linux users to come forward and pay for code the company claims to own. The legal zealots at SCO reckon Linux has grown up too fast by nicking technology such as support for large SMP systems from its copyrighted Unix code. SCO plans to start calling Linux customers this week, asking them to pay up or face the consequences.
