The Million Pixel Body - Now That's Fun!

I don't know if remember the kid that set up the pixel advertising site with a million pixels of advertising available at $1 a pop. It was a unique idea at the time, especially since the kid was getting plenty of publicity, so if you bought an ad from him, it might get seen.

Then a bunch of copycat sites came, but they just didn't offer any spin on the idea to make it unique and exciting. It seems like a bunch of people were making pixel ad scripts and everyone was jumping on the bandwagon and trying to create the same sites.

But here's a unique twist from some people in Germany. It's called Million Crystal Body and it's a photo of a German model covered in a million Swarovski Crystals. Buy one for a Euro and the crystal is removed from the photo and a crytal actually comes you in the mail.

Apparently, the model herself will be personally delivering the pixel to the person to buy the last one. I assume she'll be wearing clothing, but I'm not sure. :-)

Anyway, ideas are everywhere and we're smart to get our ideas from other businesses (As John Reese says when it comes to online business,"Don't try to reinvent the wheel."). But try to take those ideas and make them better and more unique. Not saying you have to strip down and have crystals virtual placed on your body, but you get the picture.
