Superman had a bad day and wants to have some drinks to unwind it but because he has a reputation to keep clean, he goes to a Bar located in Cuba. After a few drinks he decides to go back to Metropolis so he goes to the highest building in The Havana and for his surprise at the first try he can not take off. He thinks that he had too many drinks and he is now weak until he realizes hundreds of Cubans hanging on his cape and screaming: " Go Superman Go , take us out of Cuba" lol

My first - and only, thus far - article on Blog$hares for the Bar Corporation was about voting your way to the top. This one is as well.

More specifically, it's to provide you with an example of approximately how many chips you can make by taking a Twitter and voting its incomings and outgoings.

The blog that I was looking and - and know, I don't recall which one that was - had a total of 60 links, both in and out.

I started with the incomings and voted my way through each of them, as well as adding any blogs that I might find linked through the "Web" portion of the blog. I haven't yet started adding the additional Twitters - that can be a mission for another day.

I then moved onto the outgoings where I, again, voted my way through each of them, as well as adding any blogs that I might find linked through the "Web" portion of the blog.

I also, of course, reported any dead twitters that I found (ie those with no new posts in the past six months) whilst going through both the incomings and outgoins.

All up, this took about an hour and a a half, including the breaks to chat with Mr Kid in IRC, upload videos of Cracker Night, catch a few drops et cetera.

And... the good bit: added 7 new blogs, reported 10 and made 150 votes, which will work out to at approximately 2000 chippies in 1.5 hours. Not bad for an evening of laughter.

Do you find yourself sitting in front of the computer, hitting refresh over and over, wondering why you never get those ideas that you have reindexed for? Or worse still, do you not know how to make the ideas you need drop?

1. You must reindex a blog to make ideas drop. 

2. The blog *must* have incoming links in order for the ideas to drop. 

3. The industry you want to drop *must* be in the top 5 industries on that blog.

So maybe you knew all that and you’re still having trouble getting them. Maybe your connection isn’t too fast or maybe you’re just not as fast as those snipers out there (*cough*). Make it a habit to check out the bonds needed page http://blogshares.com/needbonds.php or take advantage of the players market making sure to advertise your bids in the trading floor of the forums http://blogshares.com/yabbse/index.php?board=4.0
