[12 < x < 24] year old computer [geek | programmer | hacker] makes [$500k < y < infinity] with [Facebook game | iPhone app | social network]
Don't you guys just love how easy it is to be successful at making money on the Interweb?
- yan 17y agoAs a relative recently said, "You know the Internet, right? Let's do something and we'll make a lot of money!"
- thismat 17y agoMy old boss used to pester me in this way all the time...funny thing is, he was the IT manager for the branch I was in. Now you know why I still have to use COBOL quite a bit :(
- mahmud 17y agoFly to Haiti and get a decent voodoo exorcism done. That took care of my pain++, it might work for your cobolitis.
- habs 17y agoreminds me of an old 'net meme : Step 1) Make [Facebook game | iPhone app | social network] Step 2) ???????????????????? Step 3) Profit !
- FreeRadical 17y agoBut this guy actually has a revenue stream tied to the game.
- Torn 17y agoYeah, step (2) is apparently quite well defined :)
- theycallmemorty 17y agoYou'd think so, but it seems like that's where a lot of people get lost.
- mahmud 17y agoAre you the developer in the story? Your handle "Torn", same as the game. [Edit: Obviously not. Will leave this here in case someone else has the same question.]
- Torn 17y agoSorry just a coincidence - I've been using this handle for eons though.
- bitwize 17y agoPlastics!
- cellis 17y agoIts actually crazy, because his game isn't on a platform and hes making $1.5m. He could probably make much more than that if he found out a way to leverage his current userbase on Facebook, Iphone et al.
