Good find, thanks. “Almost a year old, it receives one or two million hits a week, charges $12,500 per ad, and is one of the more successful enterprises on the Net.” Their secret? “We pay only about $200 for 10 to 15 beautiful little illustrations.”

Seriously, though, it is interesting to read what what worked and didn’t work about the dot-com model. They were right that it wasn’t print, but it was still way too overdetermined and overdesigned, as opposed to something that demonstrably works now, like the Huffington Post, where the blogger/creators have a freer reign over their content (not that I particularly like the HuffPo, and not that Arianna doesn’t fire you if you get out of line–hello, Justin Raimondo!).

Unfortunately Pixel Time didn’t work well across browsers. More then once I spent time making a drawing only to have it vanish when I hit “save.” Somehow a lot of good art got on there–I learned a lot just from seeing what other people did.
