Blogshares?
The latest buzz in the blogging world is BlogShares. It's some kind of fantasy market where blogs are companies, and they change value based on inbound links to them. I'm not listed since I wasn't pinging weblogs.com. I am now; we'll see what happens.
I'm thinking about this, though, and I see so much ability for abuse. You can buy and trade shares of other blogs. Suppose I buy a whole bunch of stock in some no-name, cheap blog. I then link to it a lot in my blog. That drives up the price. Sell, repeat.
I really must be missing something here.
