Need inspiration, here's boatloads of it.

The idea was originally introduced by Alex Tew who had started a website called million dollar homepage i am surprised similar sites have garnered such success. Finally i think it all ends up to which crowd you are catering to and how it gets marketed or rather networked among netizens... the current news is GENI the pioneer in family tree based social networking is being out classed by a similar clone

Yes,
I remember that one. Was so jealous of the kid Alex. I even tried getting a spot on his site.

Apparently it still works. I think when people read stories like "starving kid wants to make money and graduate" or "homeless guy trying to eke out a living"
hearts melt. People buy space, they want to help.

Good marketing.
