    Another Kid On The Road To Riches

    September 23rd, 2006 byPhilip Nicosia

    I saw a post on Shoemoney this morning where a kid has started a site LinkExperiment which is a spin-off idea from the Million Dollar Homepage.

    Although I doubt he will make a million he will earn well out of it. In the 4 months since he started the site he was up to $3251 last time I looked and this is climbing at a rate of about $300 a day and will probably climb higher than that.

    The idea is that people bid to get onto the front page. The top bid is currently $250.01 and the lowest you can bid is $6.01.

    It’s a great idea and I hope he does well out of it. Lookout for the copycat sites that are sure to follow.

    Update:

    It’s been less than 24 hours since I wrote this post. The top bid on his site is now $251 and the minimum bid is $10.01.

    The total now raised is $4266 and it doesn’t take much of a brain to figure out that he has made more than $1000 in the last 24 hours.

    TomTom Go 510

    September 22nd, 2006 byPhilip Nicosia

    I have resisted getting a satellite navigation system for years now after my first experience of using one. I was going to the Channel Tunnel from Milton Keynes and when I got to the M1 it told me to turn left (the opposite direction I needed to be going in).

    Naturally I turned right and the message on the screen came up “Recalculating Route” and then told me to carry straight on for 25 miles or so.

    After that I thought what’s the point if all it is going to do is send me on a wild goose chase. Most of the places I go to I know how to get to them and when I didn’t I would get a route printed out on the internet. The last 2 occasions I did that though turned out to be a disaster and I ended up getting horribly lost.

    So I decided to bite the bullet and have another go with a Sat Nav system. I have some friends who had already got TomTom’s and they all raved about them so when I saw the TomTom 510 with its widescreen display I decided to get one.

    TomTom Go 510


    I used it for the first time a couple of days ago when I was going up to an exhibition at Olympia in London and I am so glad I got his now. It really does take the stress of driving away when you don’t know where you are going.

    One thing that surprised me was just how easy it was to use. The touch screen menus are so simple that a 5 year old could use it. Just enter in the postcodes and the unit does the rest for you.

    So if your someone that constantly gets lost get a TomTom or another Sat Nav unit today. They have improved drastically over the years and have come down to incredibly affordable prices.
