Websites

I just interviewed a web designer who is making some interesting stuff. His social wallpaper page gets 4 million page views per month. It hit the front page of digg.com and amazon.com offered him a job on a web team. A company offered him $10,000 for another of his sites but he turned it down because he knows he can do more with it. Also check out yougetsignal.com. He has some neat tools on there. You can visually and geographically track where networks are, what networks are on the same server, etc.
Fascinating stuff. Why didn't I ever think about starting something cool like those?
