So That's What a Million Pixels Looks Like

From our 'Don't You Wish You'd Thought of It? Dept'. The Million Dollar Homepage - 21 year-old student Alex Tew wanted to avoid student debt and came up with the idea of selling 1 million pixels on his homepage to advertisers for $1 per pixel....and he's gone and sold all of them in five months! The last 1000 pixels were sold on eBay for $38,100.

The crazy thing is the guy still intends to go to Uni to study Business Management. Surely he's already passed the course?

He's got an interesting Blog too that charts the media interest and it will be interesting to see where he goes from here.
