I’ve always been a fan of web-based games - I’ve even developed a few myself. I’ve tried to play the virtual stock market variations, but they rarely catch my interests and I quickly move back to the strategy / war games.

AlexaDex is a bit different though - you purchase stock in websites, based on it’s Alexa rankings. I’ve decided to take the blogosphere route, and purchase the following stocks (for the time being) for the following reasons:

• cocomment.com - Excellent service and I see them only growing in popularity soon.
• performancing.com - Their main software release for this year is sometime this month - massive traffic.
• betaflow.com - Best site ever! Actually, I’m hoping on a few inbounds and increase in traffic from my last post.
• techcrunch.com - Web 2.0 defined - will only continue to grow in popularity.

I’m also watching 3bubbles.com and edgeio.com, and will be snatching up stock in those as soon as it’s available. I’m definitely going to stay on top of the AlexaDex game, I’ll report some of the occurences here. I encourage you all to check it out and give it a whirl!
