One Million People

[DanielLambert]

Not sure if you guys have seen this already but One Million People: Faces of a Digital Generation

It's from the same guy who did the million dollar homepage. Basically you pay $3 to have your facebook picture on the page. I already counted 100 faces so that was a quick $300 for the man.

Assuming he didn't just add those people to make it seem like 100 people paid him to do something so ridiculous.

I've got at least 10 Internet Marketers on my Facebook who have posted status updates saying they have paid for it.

I dont get it. How does this help those who have supposedly paid?

People crave a lot beyond what 'helps' them.

Looking at the page it offers,

Unique Experience (For those who 'believe' the story being marketed)
Ego Boost (by having your mug in a limited sample + being published in a book)
Recognition and a story to tell your friends.

They just want to be part of the experience.

Nice. Everyone laughed at the guy over the million pixel site... then it sold out.

He'll do well with this one too, and there will be a million copycats just like the last time.

+Rp there's innovators and there's ankle biters. Gotta give credit for going out on a limb, if even in a small way.

I think it would sell out quicker if it were 1 million fan pages.

 

[cassmanic]

Hey, I'm in. Gonna go buy a couple of spaces, try to get on page one. Do it!

 

[1yerrot]

That's a really good idea actually, everybody just wants to part of something new and different. They feel cool for 5 minutes and then descend back into their depressing lives again.... Lol.

Alex Tew just wanted to help out in paying for his college education. Made a million dollars along the way. One hell of an education before college.

3. Are you genuine/is this a joke?

I am completely genuine and although this site might be funny in various ways, it is not a joke! I really am selling pixels for $1 each, because I don't want a monstrous debt when I graduate. I am pixel hustler and proud! Some people have even asked if I am actually 21 and going to University. Fair question I guess. The answer is of course yes, as this photo of me and my uni acceptance form should prove to any doubters:

For non-UK folks, 'UCAS' is the 'Universities and Colleges Admissions Service' who, as the name suggests, handle all University admissions in the UK. Forgive me for deliberately blurring out my address
