It looks like blo­gchalk­ing should have con­sidered send­ing out staggered emails regard­ing their change of server rather than modi­fy­ing the images pulled from their old server to say “update your image”.

“Band­width Limit Exceeded
The server is tem­por­ar­ily unable to ser­vice your request due to the site owner reach­ing his/her band­width limit. Please try again later.”

I also read this story on wired today:

“An author hop­ing to spur sales of his book is facing a gigantic bill after an online pub­lish­ing exper­i­ment went hor­ribly awry.
Last week, writer Glenn Fleish­man offered his book, Real World Adobe GoLive 6, as a free down­load.
But instead of the few hun­dred down­loads Fleish­man expec­ted, the book was down­loaded about 10,000 times in just 36 hours. And because he’s charged incre­ment­ally for band­width, Fleish­man estim­ates he could be billed $15,000 at the end of the month — pos­sibly a lot more.”

Blogshares the fantasy stock mar­ket for web­logs has gone into beta. This means that mem­bers can pub­li­cise it (see the link in the left hand column) and that you can join and start trading.

“BlogShares is a fantasy stock mar­ket for web­logs. Play­ers get to invest a fic­tional $500, and blogs are val­ued by inbound links.”

It looks like it should be a bit of fun, I’ve joined and star­ted buy­ing stocks.
