Now we have The Million Dollar Zoom Homepage.
This guy will become a millionaire too and I'll still be sittin in the cubicle.
Here's his theory.....
The idea is simple: to try and make a million dollars (US) by selling 100,000,000 pixels for 1 cent each.
The principle for this came from a guy name Alex Tew and his site The Million Dollar Homepage.
I thought it was a great idea, and I have tried to improve on it. I felt that the only problem with his site is that the blocks of 10x10 pixels that he was selling for $100 were too small to display anything meaningful. So, I've devised a way to give significantly more screenspace to interested parties for the same price. Plus, it adds an element of fun and exploration.
'The Million Dollar Zoom" is set up in a grid of 10,000 x 10,000 pixels. When you first visit the site, the entire grid is displayed in a 400 x 400 pixel window, so each block looks like a little dot. Using the control panel, the visitor can zoom in significantly to see the complete image. The Million Dollar Zoom viewer does not load the entire image at once; it only loads the specific pieces of the image that the visitor wants to see.
