And pretty much anybody can steal an award. It's better than the Oscars! we can all win!
Over the last week or two I've had one of those Technorati "How Much is Your Blog Worth?" gadgets. If you click on it and go over to the Technorati site, you can input any blog's url (address), and get a 'valuation'. Ha!
How does that work? Techno has some complex way of calculating that basically looks at what links you have, where they go, and how many links the linked sites have etc.
What tripe.
However, when you cut and copy the code, in order to put it in your sidebar, you'll see the code is open to easy editing. I've been fluctuating my blog's value daily, but I guess nobody noticed.
Just like antiques roadshow, it gives you a price, a value. Let me tell you, a value is worth less than the mud on your shoes unless there's a sucker, I mean, a buyer, profferring crisp, fragrant folding money. And think about it. how much is your blog worth? to who? And why?
What use is it to a 'buyer'?
Your blog's value, its content, is you. If you sell it, and it no longer has you, or your writings or pictures, what is it then? what value has it got without you?
None. None whatsoever.
I am the source of the untold billions of value in this blog.
Better give myself an award then.
No longer feel intimidated, inadequate, or impressed when you see some blogger's sidebar full of awards. You can have them too.
Get an award or twenty here.
hilarious soubriquet... you're a man after my own heart. when i was a boy my dad and i had stamp collections. inevitably i'd ask what it was worth and what i meant (and didn't know it) was what is the estimated value if all things went well. anyway his pat response to this and any question of worth was simply... it's worth whatever someone will pay for it. also if we asked, who's winning? he'd say, we don't know yet, but so and so's in the lead. i think i'd much rather have a "stoned pelican best blog at this address award" the awards that come through the blog like a bad chain mail. maybe after my deadline, i'll work on one that us potters can use. didn't we discuss something like this before?
