CNN features Alex Tew, creator of the original million dollar homepage:


Because chances are, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old student from a small town in England, is cleverer than you. And he is proving it by earning a cool million dollars in four months on the Internet.



As of the CNN online article’s writing, the site has sold 911,800 pixels. As of my last checking of the site, it’s up to 999,000 pixels. Only a thousand to go.


Kind of an unsustainable business model, methinks, especially with the multitudes of copycats that came up in a jiffy like mushrooms in a damp tree trunk (see my post on PTB here). But after earning close to a million US dollars, it’s a good enough deal.


Thanks to Michael Balcos for the link.
