    The Web 2.0 "Stock" Market

    If you have a few minutes to kill, check out Alexadex, a marketplace for web sites. You get $10,000 to start. Prices are based on the alexa ranking for the sites you are buying or selling. Welcome to the alexadex, where players compete for fame and glory by buying and selling shares in sites on the world wide web. The price of a share is set at the site’s daily reach per million, according to alexa.com. You get $10,000 just for signing up, so get started!

Ok, back to real business. I highly recommend buying dabble.com. hint, hint. → Read More
