Want to buy stock in…me? (Empire Avenue)
Yesterday I talked about how I made $.62 through the site WeReward. Today, I earned 71.87 credits by selling stock in someone that I purchased shares in earlier this week.
That’s right, with Empire Avenue, you can now buy and sell shares in people and companies. I LOVE this site. I gotta say its a lot of fun to check and see how your stock is doing (literally, the stock in YOU), how your portfolio is doing and if your friends are trending up or down.
On the site they describe the experience as such:
Empire Avenue isn’t just about trading virtual shares. It’s also about finding new and interesting people, websites or businesses to follow, invest in or connect with. Communities make it easy to find influencers in your city or who share your interests.
My stock is JeffH. Currently you can only see this if you’re a member. However, if you’re interested in getting an invite, leave a comment on this post and hopefully myself, someone else on the DIG team, or another viewer can hook you up.
And on that note, below is how some of the DIG folks are doing in the “game”. And I’d love to get any feedback from other people using the site on what you think…
Jeff, I never thought I'd see the day that you'd be selling yourself on the internet…
This looks like too much fun – can I get an invite? I have a list of people that I'd love to “buy”!

Oh now I don't think you're very surprised its come to me selling myself over the Internet ;)
OK fine you got me. I am in… How do I sign up?
Just sent you an invite to your gmail…
Love to hear a week from now how you like it. I still like the concept but I'm not sure what to “do” with the site on a continuous basis, so I find I don't visit it very often. Now if they could make it a Facebook app, that would be pretty cool.
