Tallest page on the internet? Duh, yeah...

Well Alex you started it.

Now, everyone is convinced they can make a million bucks easily, just trading on virtual space.

Mohd Zamhoudi and Norshiima, of Malaysia no less, have just hopped onto the bandwagon.

No doubt my linking to them will just create more traffic for their sorry excuse to make a quick buck.

The duo claim they've created the 'tallestpageoninternet'. Yeah, yeah. Even the bad English can't save your pathetic copycat business plan.

We all know height and length are meaningless on a webpage where one can scroll to infinity.

Shall I create longestpageontheinternettofleeceadvertisers.com and see who makes more money?

Peruse their press release and see what's up for sale.

5,714 (crappily designed) text boxes with max space of 100 characters for US$127 a pop.

They hope to raise money to "pay for our student loans" and -- ahem -- "credit cards."

Maxed out, are we?

By the way, you will note, that although they're claiming it will be online for at least 10 years, a simple check says it will expire on March 5th, 2011 -- five years short of their promise.

Doesn't say much about their confidence level, does it?

Anyone interested in tallestandwidesthomepageever.com?
