Here’s another online real estate idea mashed up with GoogleMaps API similar to our One Buck Wiki.

Looks like they got Guy Kawasaki to buy one too. (or is he behind this site??? Btw, nice business cards Guy, I will try that too)

The bigger problem, though, is that this idea has been done to death. While each iteration, to our amazement, seems to have some moderate success — especially given the extremely low barrier for entry — they’ll never equal the success that Alex Tew enjoyed for Million Dollar Homepage in 2005. The basic idea behind these sites is that advertising is sold on the premise that the method of advertising is so unique or wacky that it will garner mainstream press attention just for being sold — and thus make the ads themselves worthwhile.
