By the time you read this he may have met his goal. I read about it yesterday. Twenty-one-year-old Alex Tew dreamed up a way to pay for attending University: create a web page and sell a million pixels at $1 each. He says that if he only sold a small percentage of that, it would be worth it. But a funny thing happened on the way. The story got picked up by news agencies. A few big companies bought space. More and more people visited the site and clicked through to the advertisers web sites. And in a few months time — probably before New Years Day according to his blog entry for today — he will have sold all one million pixels. His stat counter and link is below.

You know, I still don’t understand why I could never get anybody to buy Pet Mud. But that’s another story.
