Considering that I spend far more time talking about PR than about games these days, seeing my blog suffer a PR setback in a game seems like divine justice. At least somebody with a degree (artefact) were involved!

Where do these press releases come from? It makes me laugh to read them... but who writes them? I noticed not all of those listed have a press release.
Actually, looking more closely, it's obviously a few text with key words generated from a list somehow... still, it's a clever touch!
I really don't play the game all that well, but if you look you'll see that Mike Black has first pushed the price of the blog down, then he has restructured the ownership, and bought the shares at the lowered price. I really should spend some time to figure out those artifacts - I'd love a "red pen" artifact for instance - it should beat just about anything in the academic game ;)
I love to own things I like that's why now I got all the shares in your blog Torill. Blogshares is really cool and apart from being a fun ultra-addictive game it has also great potential for gaming research purposes.
To answer your questions the press releases are automatically created according to what way you use your artefact although you are also given the option to add comments to the press release.
