Blogshares game receives new life

For the past while, I've been following the ups and downs of the Blogshares game.



For those not fully up to speed on the Blogshares turmoil, here is a bit of background.



Blogshares was a fantasy stock market game, where the stocks were the various blogs found around the internet. Their share values were determined by the number of incoming blog links they possessed.



Suddenly, without warning, Blogshares closed down, apparently as a result of technical problems and too great a time commitment of the site owner.



According to a post on The Blog Herald, there appears to be some hope for a Blogshares game revival.



There is no news on the exact date of the game's return, but it's expected to be sometime before Christmas.



Premium Blogshares players, who paid a fee for added game features (I didn't), will have one month added to their subscription to compensate for the downtime.
