Who are you

When you are down and out and feel that you need to quit, sometime, you come across people who are there to pull you up, encourage you, prod you to go on and not give up.
Guess this has happened to lot of people in real life. And most of the time you call these people family.

So what’s the big deal? Right?

Now close your eyes imagine that you are in a game, intensively competitive, everyone trying to get an edge over the other, to be the alltime top player, best player for the month or whatever.

You are in trouble, you are not progressing, you are stuck for ideas. Now imagine the same things happening to you in real life, happens to you in a GAME?

WTF?

This is game right, and in a game people are supposed to be aggressive with no quarter give and non expected. In real life they are all "nice", and games are places where people are “supposed” to let out aggression.

Blogshares is an aggressive game. Played by some extremely helpful, some not so helpful, some indifferent to what’s happening around and some thoughtful fun loving people.

I have never come across such a bunch of humorous, supportive, aggressive and helpful people, who seem to thrive in teaching the newcomers, welcoming the new players. (Actually I dont think this happens in real life). But these are all real people!

I have seen some of them answering the same question put by multiple newcomers with smiles (or :) ).

The guys maintaining the site are doing it on their own time. There are volunteers who help out by contributing their time and skills.

I wonder why? For the love of the game, maybe. For the sheer thrill of working with similar minded people.

I feel like I am at home. The game is addictive as are the people.

What have i gotten into, mate?

I had never heard of blogshares.com until a few months back. How and why did I landup on blogshares.com?

Like a lot of things that have been happening in my life, this was, once again a coincidence. One day when I had a lot of time on my hand, I was looking for a directory of blogs, to get a feel of what the rest of the universe was blogging about. This was a few months after I had started blogging!

I searched the net, went to a few blog directories listed out by the search engine, most of them did not interest me much, a few more clicks and I landed up here.

HOW WAS I TO KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP?

A few clicks, got myself registered. I had checked into Hotel California.

I have sold my soul to a game!

My life is revolving around this game. I started blogging and now I am just blogshare(s)ing! The last few posts in my blog were about, (take a wild guess here), blogshares.

Considering the fact that I have never been much into computer games, I had never imagined that I would get hooked on to Blogshares.

I never thought that I would bust a pulmonary artery when I see numbers like 120, 80, 323. By the way these are the tiny number of ideas which keep popping up in expensive industries and your keyboard skills come into picture trying to buy them of the “market” before anyone else does.

I must be crazy, refreshing the screen every few minutes trying to see if any ideas have dropped or been sold by an existing holder.

I had never cussed my ISP, until I lost out on picking up a few great ideas because someone else was operating with better net infrastructure.

Where I used to spend time reading or thinking up “creative” fictional writing for my blog, now I am spending time plotting and planning on how to increase my virtual wealth.

Take a look at me now, sitting and writing up about blogshares.com.

This really is “Hotel California” , and I am sure the owners of blogshares.com were the original members of “Eagles”
