This is for those of you who visit my site regularly. I’ve noticed a few instances of people posting off-topic replies to blog entries…and while this is okay, it is inefficient for discussions. Therefore, I’ve put up a forum for you all to post random things on. You can use it to ask questions, make comments, tell us your life story, etc. You can reach it at www.jbctech.com/forum. I had this up before, and pulled it down when I redesigned the site, but I do think it is important..if you all use it. If you want any categories/forums added, just let me know in the forums, and I’d be happy to add it. So, I encourage you all to create a quick account on there and make a quick post. Even if it’s just to say “Hi, I read your blog.”
Take me to the forums
When I got into work this morning, I checked my RSS aggregator to see what new posts were out there in blog/news land. I found this article on Neowin.net called “Million Dollar Man (Almost At A Million).” It’s about a student who sells advertising on a website. Sounds pretty basic, huh? Well, not this site. Alex Tew sells advertising by the pixel…all on one page. Here is an exerpt from the Neowin post:
Run by 21 year-old Alex Tew, a university student from the UK, the homepage offers viewers the chance to purchase a pixel for $1. The site’s relative novelty appears to be the main cause of its success – quantified at a staggering 25,000 hits per hour – and highlights yet another unique advertising / marketing mechanism found online. Alex told Reuters news agency that he’d not done much with the money, but had treated himself to a new car. ” I’ve only just passed my driving test so I’ve bought myself a little black mini”.
