WEBLO.com -- by Joyce Schwarz, blogging at www.hollywood2020.blogs.com You regular readers know that I am still skeptical of Weblo.com -- I signed up during the first week and bought several cities and several airports...
.I was so excited-- I 'bought' a virtual version of my parents' home town, I bought my college town, Athens, Ohio and some other choice real estate on the surfing shores of Hawaii and even an airport in Newfoundland that I found was one of the all-time great airports to chill at.
BUT then my enthusiasm dropped because the site was not only slow, the tools did not work. So call me silly but I invested in a membership at an additional $45 per year figuring if I joined the elite maybe it would be better. Little did I know had I spent $1000.00 instead of the $100 I spent for virtual real estate I could have been a Billionnaire in Second LIfe.
The boards are filled with criticism of the site and many think it's a pyramid scheme with some of the ten employees of Weblo owning much of the real estate and driving up prices etc. Now I surf over there and guess what-- they are closed for maintenance...and back on December 1 -- hmm isn't it December 1 -- and they are in Toronto 3 hours ahead of me -- hmmm that's 4:30 a.m on the 1st...WHAT IS THE STORY ...oops I see they say 10 a.m. well, I won't make it until that -- so I'll have to check when I wake up tomorrow -- or should I say today. Never fear weblonians (people of Weblo) we will followup.
Meanwhile here's a link to the latest story we've seen about Weblo -- this time it's from Australia-- and note that no idiot paid $265 USD or whatever it says in the story to join-- that is wrong-- I paid $40 and I'm a bronze member I think the most you could pay for membership was $75 -- but who knows-- because that's right they are DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE until December 1....
Unreal estate boomThe Age, Australia -
... It's a virtual game, of course, but the money is real and Chisholm is one of thousands of first-time gamers who have joined Weblo (www.weblo.com) to profit ...
