The Million Dollar Hompage

Yeah this is old news… In internet time anyway. That means it’s days, not hours old. Anyway, I keep looking at it and shaking my head. What a simple idea. Why don’t ideas like these ever pop into my head. All my ideas tend to cost money… sometimes a lot of money.

The idea that Alex Tew had was create a grid of 1,000,000 pixels on his homepage and sell them in 10×10 blocks for $1 per pixel. For the mathematically challenged, that’s $100 a block. People can use these pixels to create an ad or logo with a link to their site. Alex who’s 21 and lives in the UK, created the site hoping to generate enough money to help pay for university. Well he’s done that and has enough left over for some new socks. $52,300 so far.
