exercise in vanity
this dude built some code to calculate how much one's blog is worth based on how many link to it.
click here for a methodology explanation.
the methodology is derived from AOL's recent purchase of WebLogs. as someone who spends a fair amount of the work day on acquisitions and valuation, this guy's math impressed me. a bit convoluted, but he provides fairly clear explanation and caveats.
here are my results:
since i'm a competitive jerk, i had to see how some blog friends did:
shoobie: $6,209.94
the messenger: $1,129.08
the beav: $0.00 (i'm not making this up--sorry em!)
bloodninja (new blog that just went live, so this really isn't accurate): $0.00.
melting dolls: $45,727.74
fat asian baby: $0.00 (surprising, b/c she is everywhere and even has branded stickers in bars around east atlanta)

this is kind of a cool doodad, but its not accurate. technorati consistently doesn't find my blog and doesn't find backlinks from another website, which i know is linked to by many sites. not to toot google's horn, but its blogsearch does find my blog...
