I agree with Jason in that it's just a game, and another online network to connect with people. The actual "value" that you generate through Empire Avenue might be more of a popularity contest and is based on who likes you rather than what your "influence" is across the Web. But again, it's still a new platform, so it's hard to tell. It may not be as useful as, say, Twitter is in building value/connections, so if you're trying to delegate your time then maybe you shouldn't care much about it at all!  Thanks for reading.

The why should care is, "If you dig games, it's fun and interesting to social media industry types. If you are trying to figure out one (of hopefully many) measures of influence in the social media world, it can give you an indication of who might have some influence. Beyond that, perhaps you shouldn't." But that's just my take (Jason). Jess and others may have other opinions. Fair point, James. The why should care is, “If you dig games, it’s fun and

If it's another way to measure influence, maybe it's interesting, but it seems to require a lot of effort. I tried Empire Avenue out after BlogWorld on the recommendation of @ChrisPirillo but I quickly found that my time was better spent building value through creating good content as opposed to trading "stocks" within this strange little economy.

But we find them on Facebook and Twitter, too, so it's not unique. EA is a game. It's a game for geeks and it can be addictive and fun, but it's a game.
