Facebook: The Million Dollar Application
My friend Nimrod Lehavi has developed and launched the first ”Million Dollar Application” for Facebook.
Nimrod was very up front that inspiration for the “Million Dollar Application” came from the Million Dollar homepage.
If you are wondering what this application is all about, according to his FAQ:
“Basically you buy advertising space. US 1$ per 1 pixel. after you buy you can send an image and a link and they will be placed on the application homepage. if you want to know more please read the terms and conditions.”
---
If it was up to me, I might consider letting the marketplace set the bid/ask price per pixel. And as the pixels from the application got sold, my assumption is that over time, the price would change based on the availability of pixels and the number of people who are actively using the application.
Seems that if Nimrod can get some positive momentum, he very well may be on his way to having the first “Million Dollar Application” in Facebook.

It's a shame people can't come up with their own original ideas though. Something like Million Dollar homepage was a one-off in my opinion... it's the sort of unique idea that just seems lame when people try & copy it to make themselves rich. Blatent rip-off of somebody elses genius.
It makes me sad... the internet should be a place for individualism & entrepreneurial ingenuity, not out right plagiarism.
