Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wonder how much of that would be left standing today if you blanked out all the dead/squatted links...

The Alaska Mint is the only link I clicked that still worked

Got through to The Times newspaper!

Reminds me a bit of http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com Old Internet times that will probably never come back.

I read somewhere that after it took off, people started making copycat sites -- which inevitably sold about 6 pixels each. I sometimes wonder if those copycat site people were surprised that their sites didn't do as well, when their pixels were just as good.

Some of them even bought pixels on the original to advertise their knock-off. Predictably those are all long gone now.

Navigation seems fundamentally broken. I can zoom in and out , can't navigate left/right/up/down. Cursor keys don't work. sometimes as it works randomly

You can use mouse to navigate. Thanks for the feedback though, I've added support for movement with arrow keys if no tile is selected.
