Alex Tew, the fellow behind Million Dollar Homepage, is set to launch his new MDH-like venture tomorrow. Pixelotto will offer 1M pixels of ad space for $2M...with half going to a lucky ad clicker and about half to Tew. Clever. Here's a pre-launch screenshot. (thx, jonah)
Time-lapse animated GIF of the Million Dollar Homepage...watch it fill up.
Hilarious real-world version of Million Dollar Homepage: Fill My Room. For each donation of a dollar, a block gets added to this person's room until it fills up. (via cyn-c)
The Mile Wall is an interesting variation on the Million Dollar Homepage...you buy space (by the inch) on a web page that will horizontally stretch a mile. Right now, the page is 1.7 feet wide...lots of good real estate available.
The proprietor of The Million Dollar Homepage has sold 999,000 pixels (for $1 each) and is auctioning off the final 1,000 pixels on eBay (current bid is ~$30,000). (thx, jonah)
