Million Dollar Homepage Founder Alex Tew Launches Do Nothing For 2 Minutes

Alex Tew, the guy behind the Million Dollar Homepage, has launched a new useless website called Do Nothing For 2 Minutes. Do Nothing For 2 Minutes tells the user not to move the mouse or touch the keyboard for two minutes. If you do, then you fail the test. In the background, there is some soothing ocean wave sounds and some seagulls. Tew said that Do Nothing For 2 Minutes hit 20,000 uniques within 8 hours of launching.

MillionDollarAvatar: Similar Idea, Different Concept
Remember Alex Tew, the MillionDollarHomepage inventor? MillionDollarHomepage worked well, but Tew’s second idea, Pixelotto, not so much. The concept of this idea was to sell advertisement pixels at a certain price. MillionDollarHomepage was at $1 / pixel and Pixelotto was for more. Now there is a similar idea in the works and focuses on web avatars.
MillionDollarAvatar (MDA) membership is free for now, but accepts charitable donations. Placing an avatar on MillionDollarAvatar in the future may have an annual fee. The idea is a bit of a mash-up of the MillionDollarHomepage and Yahoo!’s MyBlogLog.
“Every 24 hours display 100 random avatars on the homepage. Every 5 minutes display 100 random avatars on the backpage. Every day generate ‘The Daily 20‘ – a random selection of member sites and create a subscription feed for users to subscribe to via email or their RSS reader,” according to MillionDollarAvatar’s How it Works page. Kevin of MDA plans on donating 10% of money earned to Live Strong.
