Million Dollar Homepage* (www.milliondollarhomepage.com) 1000000 pixels, charge a dollar per pixel – that’s perhaps the dumbest idea for online<http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/886134-web-the-5-stupidest-ideas-ever-that-actually-worked/#>anyone could have possible come up with. Still, Alex Tew, a 21-year-old who came up with the idea, is now a millionaire. *2. Santa Mail* (www.santamail.org) Ok, how’s that for a brilliant idea. Get a postal address at North Pole, Alaska, pretend you are Santa Claus and charge parents 10 bucks for every letter you send to their kids? Well, Byron Reese sent over 200000 letters since the start of the business in 2001, which makes him a couple million dollars richer. *3. Famous 25* (www.famous25.com) Based on the fact that anyone can be famous these days just by getting exposed on the internet in a very bizarre situation, these kids decided to build a pretty bizarre (i'd say stupid) website and "sublet" its bizarreness for one dollar to people who want to get famous or make something get famous. BIZARRE! *4. Doggles* (www.doggles.com) Create goggles for dogs and sell them online? Boy, this IS the dumbest idea for a business. How in the world did they manage to become millionaires and have shops all over the world with that one? Beyond me. *5. AntennaBalls* (www.antennaballs.com) You can’t sell antenna ball online. There is no way. And surely it wouldn’t make you rich. But this is exactly what Jason Wall did, and now he is now a millionaire. ------------------------------ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection.
