Alexa Street is now in Open Beta. The concept behind the site is that it is a multiplayer game based on the buying and selling of web site shares based on a website’s Alexa rankings.

Every player starts with $10,000 (play money) to plug into web sites that you think you may profit from. For every friend that you recommend to this website, you gain an extra $1500 (play money) to invest into websites. The Recent Activities, Top Broker Movers (shown the most improvement), the Top 25 and Top Mover Brokers along with the Top 25 and Top Mover Stocks are featured on the homepage.

Amit’s Thoughts:
I would definetely give Alexa Street 2 thumbs up as it makes good practice for analyzing potential investments. And even if you get your hands on some inside information, I highly doubt the SEC will come after you since this is play money anyway.

Invest in Pulse 2! We jumped over 4,000,000 in 2-3 weeks! And we don’t see a chance of slowing down anytime soon!
