The ASCII Million Dollar Page

<i>$20 per character</i><p>Good luck with that ;)

Hilarious!<p>For those who aren't familiar with it, it's a spoof of this page: <a href="http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/</a><p>Which although seems pretty pointless, got a ton of publicity a while ago.<p>EDIT: and apparently actually made its author a million dollars!

I bet if he had seeded it to make it look like a few people had already paid, he might have made some sales by now, joke site or not.<p>I recently launched a website with a gatekeeping fee pegged to the number of users (fee goes up $0.001 per user) and it surprised me how many people assumed that I started by charging $0.00. Do you really want to be the first paying user of any service?

The original fitted in approximately 1 browser screen. This ASCII one involves scrolling.

I can't avoid hating everything that is for pure money making and no user value creation. It is also an advice for startups.

Well...he's made 20 bucks.

I hope they know rel="nofollow" has to be added to all those links.

I would have bought into that if only he'd done a Flash version.

This site looks easy to maintain.

No Unicode?!

pfff

In order to be original, you have to be, well, original.<p>Fail.
