I wish i’d thought of it…

This thing is so cheesy it’s brilliant. The million dollar home page is an ecommerce site built by a bunch of pommy students to help pay their way through uni. It’s a simple web page featuring a grid of 10,000 boxes covering the space of 1 million pixels on the screen. It’s kinda like a vast electronic frontier inviting people to stake their claim (for $1/pixel) on whatever space they can afford, to display whatever they like.
The site has already raked in over $300K and is evolving into a colourful patchwork of product plugs and arbitrary visual expressions. Top of the class for these lads.
