ok, this is actually a pretty good idea.
It's a much more legit variant of what I would typically call sketchy/scammy efforts targeted at vanity sales. High school students, and professionals typically get junk mail telling them (their parents) that they've been accepted into some sort of "honor society" type book, and will be listed. Of course, they also offer the parents the ability to buy the book for some $$. So, they sell a ton of books to proud parents who would love to have their kids named in some honors book. Anyway, similar scheme for professionals etc...
So, this idea, is big book of people's profiles. 1 million in all. So, some percentage of those people are going to want to have the book for themselves. To show people - hey - look at this. But it's actually a kinda cool sounding book, so I could see this having some real appeal.
Anyway, nice idea.
EDIT: hang on, looking at previous coverage, it looks like it was $3 a spot. Right now it says "Free". My post was based on it being "free". Not sure what/when that changed.
- duck 16y agoLooks like it was $3, but now it is free. They added page sponsors instead - http://blog.onemillionpeople.com/joining-is-now-free http://blog.onemillionpeople.com/joining-is-now-free
- mikeknoop 16y agoI am unsure why Page Sponsors are needed - isn't the idea to going to sell the final book at a premium?
