Anyone that I know (besides +Chris Pirillo) in Empire Avenue? It is SO much like a 'real' stock market – it's just beyond my comprehension. Looks like a lot of people are in there having a good ol' time though.
My guess is that it is a type of social proof system based on awarding value to social networking activity? If it wasn't so complicated (to me) it looks like it would be the Klout killer.
I bought my friends <grin> and that's the extent that I follow / understand the system.

umm sorry but what are u going on about ???
i have never heard of it hehehe:P
Just invested in you on Empire Avenue 🙂
I'm over there (TOOTS)… mostly lurking. I signed up largely because I was curious to see how the metric stacked up against Klout. Met some interesting folks I wouldn't have otherwise.
wow i like ur killer smile…….
Hey Lynette. I'm on Empire Avenue (since October I think). I like it but have been too busy to maintain it. +Chris Widener has mastered it. You should watch how he uses it.
I love the new YouTube missions. I just wish I could send out a different mission for each video I uploaded every day, but that would flood Shareholder inboxes. 🙁
I was active there for a while but lost interest interest when G+ launched. My account is still open but i havent logged in since being on here.
Hm. Weird, it's been under my radar. Worth looking at?
I'm there!@SocialBug
I'm with you… I checked it out a few months ago, and while I understand the basic concept, I couldn't figure out exactly how to use it for my clients or even what value it ultimately provides. I like the simplicity of Klout, which is why I think the latter will trump EA fairly quickly. Social networking is difficult enough without throwing in complicated equations into the mix!

If you understand the stock market (or rather, how it works) and consider your social media activity your "stock" it will make sense to you. Each blog post, tweet, status update, podcast, etc all have value. The more content you make available the more you're worth BUT the caveat is that worth is determined by how many people share and like your content and how often. That's the best explanation I can give you.
i joined , it is more complicated than klout lol
Funny, I was really into it about a year ago, then I ended up canceling my account cause it was just another thing to be judged about. LOL.
