The Million Dollar Homepage was my inspiration for a world homepage: every person in the world could sign up for "their pixel". each pixel on the page would be a link to their blog or email address. This idea is more odds a thought experiment about the scale of one web page than a real site. :)

#83Wow, even the "1000 limited edition poster prints". Crazy. I remember it when it came out. It was a success because of media attention. It sparkled a "gold rush" to buy these pixels while they lasted.
Sometimes people do crazy things. :)

#84Wow, I was 13 at the time this came out and I feel like it was yesterday. I guess I really am an internet veteran. :)

Alternatively, if you can't be first in a category then invent a new category in which you are first. Who was the first human in space? Who was the second? Who was the first human to orbit the Earth? Who was the second? Who was the first human to set foot on the moon? The second? The third?
I remember this from a book. Was it 22 immutable laws of marketing?
Yeah, it's the second law. One of the first marketing books I read that convinced me marketing wasn't all puffery.

#87We are actually creating a page similar to this for our clients. It will be live in a few days. We had a client directory but couldn't fit everyone on one page. So we decided to create smaller boxes for each clients. All of our clients will be on the same page and are encouraged to do business with each other and promote the page. Remember, hundreds of millions of people have come online in the past 5-10 years. And the key is not "copying" the exact idea but learning from and adapting all the models in the marketplace to create new projects. Ours is already selling but (BUT!)it is because we are already connected to these people (creatives, business owners, etc.) and we're not out to create a gimmick but simply to connect clients and friends of clients.
