Its not often that you come across a truly original idea. On the web nowadays, someone, somewhere, has had the same idea and…mostly likely.. beat you to it. The last good idea I came across was www.milliondollarhomepage.com. This genius sold advertising on his site for $1 per pixel. The idea took off and he sold out…. A simple idea = $1million. Done. Ka-ching.
Well tonight a mate of mine brought to my attention the latest brilliant idea that has taken the web community by storm. Only in the US can oneredpaperclip get you a house.
My name is Kyle MacDonald and I am trying to trade one red paperclip for a house. I started with one red paperclip on July 12th, 2005 and I am making a series of trades for bigger or better things.
A paper clip was exchanged for a fish pen, for a door knob, for a coleman stove, for a red generator, for an instant party, for a skidoo, for a trip to yahk, for a one cube van, for a recording contract… and currently the offer is a year, rent-free in Phoenix…. What you gonna offer?
Man…this guy’s already been interviewed on ABC news and has been on the front page of stacks of newspapers and of course the web is abuzz with news of his escapades. I say 10 points man. Seriously. Its tough to come up with an original idea these days. Much respect for such a brilliant idea. Be cool to see how quickly he gets to trade for his house.
