Blog money

December 30, 2002 9:31 AM

Blog money -- A pal of mine was looking at all the Gawker-style magazines and attempts to make cash off the blogging scene, and came up with an idea so ridiculous and even bad that it could work. Basically the idea can be summed up in four words: Celebrity Blog Commenting Service. Good joke or good idea?

Or you could attract A-listers to your site by linking them along with the idea of paying them for commenting. That'll achieve simmilar results.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to post about my willingness to give various supermodels oral pleasure in exchange for... Ah, shoot, nothing (I'm charitable like that)

I'd be willing to respond to this FPP for one of the following: $10 or a free monkey. Your choice.

a dollar doesn't go too far these days. barely buys a cup of coffee.

but a monkey.... now that's some commerce.

Here's a thought: if you are posting material to the net that no one reads and no one cares about, perhaps it's better that we just let nature take it's course, instead of attempting to inject false life into it.

That said, I recently moved from blogger to moveable type (hooray) and it pains me that I lost a year's worth of comments.

If anyone wants to be paid for leaving comments at my site, you check it out here, then send me an e-mail discussing rates.
