Million Dollar Internet Whiz-Kid Launches 'Real' Face Book

LONDON, September 29, 2010 - A British entrepreneur who five years ago netted $1m with his Million
Dollar Homepage website - in which advertisers bought pixels on a web page a
dollar at a time - is back with a $3m idea that he describes as a 'real' face
book.

The project by Alex Tew, 26, is called One Million People. Internet users
can buy a spot for $3 then upload a picture of themselves. Tew will print a
book - "an actual, real face book" - once the million slots are filled.

"The goal is to take a snapshot of the Facebook generation, and
immortalize one million faces in a stunning printed book", he explained, "It
will be a timeless physical symbol of the social web revolution and how more
than ever, we are all part of one global community."

Tew originally shot to fame when in 2005, as a penniless student hoping
to avoid large debts, he created The Million Dollar Homepage: a simple and
brazen scheme to sell one million pixels of ad space for $1 each. The site
became a worldwide internet sensation and achieved its goal in 4 months.

Tew admits his new project is inspired by his previous creation, "The
Million Dollar Homepage was a snapshot of the internet at the time, a vibrant
tapestry of different ads and logos. I was thinking how much the internet has
changed over the past five years, and that's what gave me the idea: let's
reinvent the concept and take a snapshot of the web today: the social web."

According to Tew over 1,000 people have signed up since the site went
live earlier in the week, and he also revealed that he is reserving the first
space in the book for Facebook founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.

"Mark is a genius who has revolutionized the way we communicate and
share, and I can't think of anyone more apt to occupy the prestigious first
space in the book.", Tew explained, "An invite is on its way to him and I am
hoping he accepts."
