1.Take a look at the following site: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/2. Ask yourself - “how much is this website worth?”3. Now read this BBC story (exerpt below) and be amazed/angered/dumbfounded.P.S. For those of you not yet interested, here is some background on the milliondollarhomepage.com - a 21-year-old Brit built the above-mentioned site and sold advertising per pixel for one dollar. After several months and a 1,000 x 1,000 pixel screen sold, he has made more than $1,000,000:

It took a 21-year-old a few minutes to come up with an idea which has made him more than one million dollars in four months. So what’s his secret?It started with a blank notepad, an overdraft and a shortage of socks.Now it’s a million-dollar business.Last August, as a three-year degree loomed, Alex Tew lay on his bed in his family home in Cricklade, Wiltshire. It was time for his nightly brainstorming session.This time, the problem was his finances. He already had an overdraft, which was sure to multiply at university, and he felt his poverty was reflected by his lack of decent, or matching, socks.The first thing he wrote in his pad was “How can I become a millionaire?” Twenty minutes later, the Million Dollar Homepage idea was born.It was selling pixels, the dots which make up a computer screen, as advertising space, costing a dollar per dot. The minimum purchase was $100 for a 10×10 pixel square to hold the buyer’s logo or design. Clicking on that space takes readers to the buyer’s website.

‘HAT BLOKE ‘AD A BLOODY GOOD IDEA EH?!?
