Just thought I'd use you all as a sounding board for a business idea I'm trying out. I started this site a few days ago and want you opinion on it!

The design is a twist of another succesful idea... but serving a completely different market

I heard about the site of which you're basing yours. Great idea. I only wish I had 99 pence to send you. Do you take American dollars?

thanks for making it clicky!

It'll take quite a few currencies since I'm using paypal as a payment site... they're not always the best to work with tho, a bit confusing for people that aren't familiar with it :(

I already bought my little box of the .1%...column 1, row 3.

hehe, maybe we should try and fill out the whole of the first column with skydivers.

Well, that makes one American on the site....

now it just needs another 190 odd nationalities and it's representing every country on the world ;)

Good idea. Then column one could be .1% of .1%...hmmm
It's only £0.99, or roughly $1.50 (+/-).

Your right - .1% of .1% of a representation of the world would be jumpers. That would be pretty cool. So send it to your mates and get it going.

What do you guys reckon the quickest way to get tell people about the site would be?

....besides painting the url on my body and streaking through the streets of london....and every other major city in the world...!!!!

[mr2mk1g 10]

Have you considered trying to e-bay some of the squares? Quirky auctions that get listed on some of those e-bay watching sites seem to get thousands of hits... as long as the listing doesn't appear to e-bay as an advertising scheme and rather simply selling the square they probably won't care. Then again it might just get pulled or go completely un-noticed. Or it might undermine the 'ethos' you want to attach to the site so you should consider the move before you make it.

Looks like there's roughly £12.87 been made so far... I doubt that puts anyone in profit yet mind... but you've a fair point I guess.

[mhjelset 0]

Yeah, not quite there yet tho

Hi - the plan has legs tho... so it's only a matter of time - good luck.
