Alex Tew's Next Big Thing!

2006-11-20T20:00:00.000-08:00

Since successful completing his famous MillionDollarHomepage.com hit, Alex Tew keeps details of his next web project as the

BIGGEST TOP SECRET in the Universe!

The only available information on his personal blog sounds both super optimistically and super vague:

"I'm up to something. Something that could be REALLY big. Much bigger than the Million Dollar Homepage. But I cannot divulge any secrets yet!"

First of all, unlike Alex's previous project, it's clearly going to be extremely complex. Considering the time he has spent on it, - it's almost a year from now, - and hired professional programmer(s) at least several months ago, the plan wasn't been written on a piece of napkin.

Let me predict, calculate(!) main features of his future technology!The one that might be does not exist as a finished product yet..

1. WHAT

Alex is famous for his genius PixelAd idea. So more than likely his next step will be around creative modifications of that theme.

I think the key of the next Alex's website will be displaying and managing sponsors' ads on the screen in the form of advanced programmed OBJECTS. For example, Java applets, Flash modules, etc.

Flash objects look the most logical way for MillionDollarHomepage.com evolution.

Imagine you screen area as a billboard compiled of colorful Flash-based ad blocks!

My guess is, if you really wanna see how the secret Alex's project may look like, go to such its possible prototypes as:

At the same time, the slowness of the Flash technology may be the weakest point of the whole project.

Please note, I'm trying to review a next Alex project BEFORE he introduced it!

But considering the previous Alex's project was unbelievably wasteful, - my PC crashed several times trying to load 1.5Mb (!) main page of the image-based MillionDollarHomepage.com, - for many users in the future possible problems of managing multiple Flash-based objects may be frustrating.

2. WHEN

One can start with checking Alex's horoscope. As he spent a lot of time and efforts for the preparations, chances are there will be coordination between such big events as the mega project launching and planetary mega movement.

More practical way, however, is to open the calendar to found that Christmas sales are very close :)

This means, Alex can start it very, VERY SOON!

What's your opinion?

Any ideas?
