BlogShares is for sale

Email This Entry

Posted by Clay Shirky

BlogShares is for sale. BlogShares was a site that allowed users to buy and sell "shares" (using play money) for individual blogs, thus providing a kind of market-based ranking, along with a sense of rising and falling reputation.
Besides programming skills you'll need the time / motivation to administer the system (there are a few time consuming manual processes for handling user input but most of these are low-priority) and a clear desire and plan to support the community.

Whoever takes over blogshares should name something significant after Seyed as a tribute for all the labor he put into blogshares. Blogshares was a fun game and hopefully will be again.
