Some ideas only work once.

CyberCoder at 2:17 am on Sunday, December 25, 2005

Sometimes you just have to face the fact that an idea is a one time shot. If you have not seen the Million Dollar Home Page and all the hype around it, you have missed out on one of the Internets “One Time Wonders”.

Alex Tew had a unique and successful idea. But, people must realize it is impossible to repeat his success. You had to be the first, and only the first. Without substance some ideas can only thrive on their meaningless novelty.

To prove this point simply search on Google for “million dollar home page” Chances are you will see the following paid advertisement that will lead you to a site trying to mimic the success of Tew. I can’t decide if this is funny, or just sad.

It does seem quite sad, but he does seem to have a twist in his site that you’ll get a listing in USA today at some point.

Plus, if the figures are right, he’s still made $8400…
