Groovy.
The winners of this week's Tag-Board.com premium membership are Farzad Esahaghi, ~scott and Falling Grace. Congratulations, folks. Send me your Tag-Board IDs (email,) and we'll get you upgraded.
Music fans: the next raffle is a $20 iTunes gift certificate. Rock on. (Though what we really want is a 64 bit Xserve G5 or two for our latest text indexing project...)
Femme held the winning raffle ticket (after buying 16,000) and is the lucky winner of the Movable Type lifetime license granted to us by Six Apart. Congratulations! The next raffle has triple prizes.
We found and fixed a couple glitches in the new Idea valuation math. Big thanks to AlanDean, SubWolf and C for these improvements to the core game logic. More to come.
Chips went up in value since their creation, so I dropped text ad prices. Now you can attract viewers to your blog at a rate of 20 impressions per chip.

In what is destined to be a record-setting contest...
Six Apart has granted us a "100% lifetime discount" code for the A-list blogging package Movable Type to raffle off to one of you lucky BlogShares members. Buy your tickets by September 18th. |
Congratulations to MrPilot of MrPilot.org, winner of last week's raffle, a copy of O'Reilly's Essential Blogging. It was synchronicity that the Six Apart folks wrote large parts of that book. The Trotts are just. that. busy.
Because of all the other ways to spend chips these days, the text ad queue has shrunk considerably (less than half a million left). If you post a great entry on your blog, drop a few chips on ads to get exposure. Most visitors to this site are bloggers themselves. Start something!
