I used to play Blogshares (B$) a long time ago and now I'm getting into it again. Well, B$ is a virtual stock market for blogs. Every blog is handled as a company and has a share price. It is a little different from the normal share market as the way to make money there is easier.
They have a contest going on at the moment where they are asking help. They want active users to tell them what is good and what is not in answering 2 different questions: When you start your blogshares day, what is the first page you load? and If the homepage had modules that you could select, what kind of data / information would you want in them?
I do understand, that the site is old and needs updates. They have added new and nice features and repaired/updated the new code, but the visuals are still the same they used to be years ago. Every time I log in, I check my value and rank (pride) and then start trading. Of course it would be really nice to get all the stats right on the first page or even as a module on every page. Secondly I would give a fortune (virtually) to someone to create a filtering module. Why not be able to filter out blogs in a certain price range with available shares and information about increasing or decreasing. Yes, i do understand, it will make the game more easier and give riches to the ones who are rich. But, the idea behind this is simply to be in logged in at the right time and have enough free actions. So the idea is to limit the actions (buying shares found by this method and even searches).
They also brought up an example of iGoogle. A little list of modules/gadgets I use daily: Gmail, Google trends, bookmarks, couple feeds and several special searches. All the same features could be also included in B$. In addition I wouldn't mind to have a ideas needed gadget. Could come handy :)
Anyway, I'm gonna go and dream about my billions now.
