While indulging in a bit of self Googling, I discovered that I rank among the top Blogshares players for the month of November:
46. Jennifer Vetterli 55790.35% growth (Rank: 5839, $279,451.73 current worth / $500.00 start of month)
This despite having done absolutely nothing except stake a claim on my own blog (and putting the requisite Blogshares code in my sidebar), and receiving 1000 shares of it (presumably purchased at market price) for my trouble.
If only I could accrue funds so easily in real life.
(BTW, le blog has been on a real pricing rollercoaster on the Blogshares market. However, the price seems to be going up again, so if any of you Blogshare-playing kiddies want to snap some up, now might be a good time. Or not.)
