Well im sure you all know about the million dollar homepage..something created by a lazy bum anyways..someone has come up with a new idea.. "The Map Homepage" pretty much instead of selling pixels they sell US states lol
http://www.themaphomepage.com/
So do you think it will be profitable?

What difference would it make. Its all the same idea and revenue.

I dont see it making that much of progress if any that'll be a big hit.

Never know though.

This website is just 1 among the manyf i've come across, which have all been taken from the original idea...So to be honest, the most will not actually make revenue though some will make I would assume just a bit...Though by now this idea should be in the dust

I don't think that specific page will gain much at all. If he does it won't be that much.

Lolx, what's next??? But i still think its a unique idea in the first place which gets everyone curious and interested. But for the copy-cats, hard luck. They aren't as successful. Maybe they should put on their thinking cap and think of a unique idea instead.
