Bush shoe-throwing game SockAndAwe.com sold for £5,215.00 on ebay

  It's worth noting that the guy behind it was Alex Tew, the guy who did MillionDollarHomepage.com (or, rather, it was the company he built from the money he made, but he's the figurehead). It's interesting that they put it together within 48 hours of the shoe incident and got the traffic while the iron was hot. Development tools and frameworks nowadays make this a lot easier.. so keep your eyes out for news items and the like if you want to have similar hits (not that £5,215 is a hit - not bad for a few days' work though - but the millions of visitors are great).

    Thank you for filling in the details. It's amazing how fast they moved and were able to make a cool £5k and tons of publicity. If anything it shows very good thinking even if a bit opportunistic.
