Darren said: "Remember what I said on the [url=http://www.blog-republic.com/2006/05/26/22427-per-day-of-economic-value-created-per-day-per-blog-by-me/]26th about the value of the Blog Republic[/url] Well, now it appears, the economic value is rising even faster. Do you think it's because people are linking to the article? What a self-fulfilling prophecy that would be. Think I can sell Blog-Republic for $1 million US one year after starting the website? Would make for some very interesting news on the "new media" and it would make for a great year for me. LOL There's still time to become a Blog Millionaire."

Darren said: "The same thing as all my heirs get :) You'll get the satisfaction of saying "I knew him when". You can also cash in by writing a "Tell All" expose of the early years :)"

quinny said: "back when you couldn't afford proper software and had to use phpPuke :p"

Darren said: "That's what I'm saying ;) I knew less than AnthonyCea when I started (wow, is that hard to believe)."

Heather said: "BigT doesn't have any vision, and he's going to be forever stuck at that terrible forum of his.. He just likes to complain and be negative. Too bad for him."

Darren said: "Today I have so many money-making ideas I feel like my head's gonna explode! Let's hope it doesn't."

tracepeople said: "I liked your podcast. you've kinda got a weird accent lol. Some suggestions: 1- Have a short maybe 5-7 second intro tune, it just makes the whole thing appear more polished. 2 - I can tell you're recording the first time though, it just sounds abit juttery in places. Why not run through everything once and then do it all again, record both and I'll bet the second run through sounds alot more confident and fluent. very nice podcast though. I agree with the static website stuff. I'll keep tuning in."

Heather said: "Thanks for the kind words, Trace.. Which one of us has the weird accent? Me or Darren? ..or both of us?"

Darren said: "Those sound like easy enough suggestion take put into place. Thanks for the input."

tracepeople said: "yeah, I think they'll really improve your podcasts. and I think darren's accent is the weird one. heather sounds "standard" american, darren sounds like more of a weird regional american accent. :D"

quinny said: "darn it... looks like my blog is losing value, down about 2K:("

Darren said: "Makes sense, Quinny :) I think my value is still going up. This group of Australians [URL="http://www.crikey.com.au/sealed/editions/A3A8GM77UMTNU01WSKBQF7M0T5R/full.html"]seem to be enjoying BR[/URL]. Go down to number 16. She message quotes my contribution ;) This has sent in a ton of traffic since last night. The link from [url=href=http://www.problogger.net]ProBlogger[/url] has delivered hundreds of people since 5/22 and they're linking to me too, sending even more traffic. Man I love Blogging!"

quinny said: "up to 20K now :eek:"

Heather said: "That's a nice increase in just a few weeks.. I think that the creator of that tool hasn'r done much work on it lately. He didn't account for http:// It gives 2 different result sets depending on how you input it."
