I enjoy BlogShares; I don't claim to be a very good investor. I've done relatively well, but I also had a sort of head start. Soon after I joined BlogShares, one of the top players — out of the blue — gave me a bucketload of BlogShares "dollars," several times the stake that you get automatically for signing up. I didn't know her and was a little suspicious of this at first. Later, I found out that, at that time, BlogShares had just been revived after having been dark for several months when its original hosts shut it down. The game was having trouble getting the word out to former players, and I think some of the top players started handing out money just as an encouragement for new people to play.

Anyway, it's fun to play and it's a fun way to run across new blogs.
