The Power of the Internet

I recently read an interesting bit of news, here and it really just shows how far the Internet has come for the next generation. Basically, the link outlines the life of a 17 year old girl who started a multi-million dollar business (generated primarily through Google’s Adsense) by designing MySpace themes which became such a lucrative idea (the website gets 7 million hits/month and is ranked higher than websites like cbsnews.com, americanidol.com and even oprah.com) that former MySpace boss Brad Greenspan, offered to buy the site for a close to $2 billion…twice. Both times, he was turned down.

The website exists on the principle that it’s been created for teenagers by a teenager, and to this effect has been used as a marketing gimmick for promoting new music bands and vocal talent, via a video widget on the site.

This just shows how far we’ve come in a decade, from the failed dot-coms to the teenage entrepreneurs, from internet chat rooms to major social networking portals, from offshoring on a local and small scale to a worldwide phenomenon.
