Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?
By Roger Strukhoff
Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

New Advertising Web Site Is Fit for a King
New Advertising Web Site Is Fit for a King

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Andrew Fischer, who led the 2005 body advertising trend by auctioning ad space on his forehead, recently launched KingOfTheBill.com, moving the field of play online.

"King of the Bill(TM)" debuted November 2, 2006 with a simple concept -- companies and individuals purchase permanent ads on the site, starting at $1. Each ad costs just $1 more than the last ad purchased. The current King of the Bill receives an advertising banner at the top of the site and a text link on the list of "kings." As long as one retains the title of King of the Bill, your banner ad runs on many of Fischer's NURV.com network websites.

In just 3 weeks, word of mouth has propelled sales revenue to over $1,200, while the next ad is still a mere $50. The website has attracted thousands of visitors worldwide, with a growing number curious about what that "forehead guy" is up to now.

Fischer, now 22, was asked, "Why this new venture?" "I run several high traffic websites and work with advertisers constantly. I wanted to create a fun, unique way for people to advertise, which also provides a solid return on their investment. For most businesses, just one sale will easily pay for the cost of the ad."

Online advertising has witnessed several unique ideas over the past few years -- the most memorable being the Million Dollar Homepage(TM) where ads sold for a dollar per pixel. There is no telling how much revenue Fischer's idea may generate -- unlike the number of pixels on a page, there is no limit to the number of steps to the top of this "hill."

Want to start off the holiday sales season by feeling like you are "The King?" For only $50 you can take part in this online advertising extravaganza as it unfolds.

It's good to be king! About Andrew Fischer and NURV.com:

Andrew Fischer popularized the "Human Ad Space" trend in 2005 by auctioning temporary ad space on his forehead. He has appeared on several TV shows including Good Morning America, Dayside, Fox & Friends, Bullseye, and Inside Edition and been featured in Entrepreneur Magazine, PARADE Magazine, USA Today, New York Times, LA Times and hundreds of syndicated newspapers. KingOfTheBill.com is part of NURV.com, Fischer's web solutions business.
