Not so much for the idea, more for the way he has got it out there, and got such a response!
A student has set up a site that simply displays a million pixels. He then sells this pixel space off to companies, US$1 per pixel. He has made over 70k this month already!
Check it out....

Yeh exactly, that was my point, I was laughing at those who are setting them up The idea is simple. What will make him money is the combination of being the first, and getting press coverage at an early stage. I so need to make sme buddies at all the major news sites _____________________
