An entrepreneur named Dane Carlson has developed a little webapp that will compute your blog's worth. Here's how it works:

Inspired by Tristan Louis's research into the value of each link to Weblogs Inc, I've created this little applet using Technorati's API which computes and displays your blog's worth using the same link to dollar ratio as the AOL-Weblogs, Inc deal.

Just feed it your URL and you'll see how much your stellar opinions and gripping editorial content are worth in 2005 AOL money. This could actually be quite useful for figuring out the valuation of your site to lure advertisers or potential investors. Dane also offers a little button you can put on your site for real-time tracking.

I'm not going to tell you what Monkey Bites is worth. Besides, we're definitely not for sale, so it doesn't matter. Unless your name is H???agen or Dazs and you want to pay in iced cream.
