Hmm.

Interesting....Long time reader and commentor Stan the Government Man just sent me this link to a site run by a nice fellow named Dane Carlson. The widget in question is said to be inspired by "Tristan Louis's research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc," and incorporates an "applet using Technorati's API which computes and displays your blog's worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs Inc deal." Whatever that means.

As it stands, it seems that as of the moment of posting, the Mighty Possumblog is worth $32,743.32, which compares quite favorably with Instapundit at $3,826,452.12.

Stan speculates that the incredibly high price for Possumblog is the result of "the cumulative value of all those Cornatees." Well, there is that, and there's also my collection of curiously-shaped rocks.

(Surprisingly enough, Revolvoblog is worth $3,951.78, which is about twice what Järn the Volvo is worth.)

Puny when compared to the MP, and yet:

Your blog, skinnydan.blogspot.com, is worth $7,903.56

Almost exactly but not quite twice as much as the Swedish Rocket. I knew this thing was a money maker! Now...

Who's Buying? Step right up, plenty to go around.

Hmmm. Yorkieblog is worth $15,242.58. That's enough to pay for all this remodeling we're doing. Any takers?

Just remember--the love of money is the root of all evil, so if you do manage to sell your blogs, be sure to give me your money so you won't be tempted to do bad things with it.

Clearly there is something wrong with his math, because it claims Curmudgeonry is worth $52,502.22! But I would be happy to sell it for that, even if I must say that it is clearly overvalued.

You have original artwork--I think that counts extra.

Well life at full volume is worth a piddly $4,516.32. It just barely edges out Revolvoblog.

Obiviously I'm not in it for the money.

I might be, if I could figure a way to convert Possumblog to liquid assets.
