Actually, many teens are millionairs because they started something on the internet that was bought. You know Launchcast.com? That was made by a college kid. Yahoo bought it, now he owns 2 sports teams. The kid who invented napster was in college, and now he probably doesnt need to work another day in his life.

Yeah, and that guy in college/uni that sold a pixel on his website for like £5 for something, he made millions with that, big companies bought loads of pixels for the advertisments.

I really hope they don't change anything, because it's great the way it is. Plus Google Video really sucks.

I think it was $1 and it had one million pixels, or squares, I can't remember. He made $1m from it.

I believe that Google would make a profit by geting companies to put there adverts on youtube then publishing on the Google website... not sure.

Yeah, I heard about that as well.
It was in Nottingham as well, which I live in so I heard a bit about it.

He was in uni. and wanted to pay off his uni. debts and all that, so he made his own website where companies could buy pixels to advertise their stuff. He had loads of space on his website, and 1 x 1 pixels cost $1 and they had to buy a minimum of 10 x 10 pixels. He made over $1m from it which is around £700,000. He payed off all his debts and become a very lucky man.

And yeah, a lot of people do make their own websites then become rich by getting bought out for a lot of money. I wanna try it myself one day, its an easier way to get rich.
