The Mile Wall is an idea of Travis Smith, college student at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta. Travis aims to build the internet’s longest page. The page will stretch for 1 mile ( 1.6 km ) horizontally and be made entirely of public posted material. It will be the first, or at least one of the first, pages to go entirely horizontal for such an incredible distance.
The web site is fun to look at and introduces a new way of advertising. Permanent space on this virtual wall starts at 1 dollar for a square inch. If If it makes it the whole way Travis plans to submit it to the Guinness Book of World Records as the internet’s longest page.

This is a variation of The Million Dollar Homepage (http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com) which was started by a 21 year old college student in England about four month ago - he sells 1 pixel on the page for $1 (in $100 blocks) and so far has sold over $950,000 worth of pixels.
A great idea, though unclear yet if it can be replicated to many other sites - but the variations will be interesting to watch.
