Enter the Konami code by swiping the middle of the screen: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, and an Easter Egg is revealed (plus it’s dragable and rotatable)

Hoping this will tweak your interest at some novelty level.

iPhone/Gestures/Secret Konami codes/A ‘Twitter’ easter egg – this has it all.

And just to prove that this stupid idea will live on and on, tormenting the fibre of the internet, _I_ give you… (drum roll please)… The Cube of 100.

ps. I do tend to agree with what I read as the thrust of your article, that Alex should probably count his lucky stars and move on from the MillionDollarHomepage, but that’s something he’ll have to work out in his own time I guess.

It should be noted, that of the 153,000 made by A Tew, 140,000+ were made BEFORE the site was made public

when the site ACTUALLY became public very few people signed up
