WinButton

July 3, 2005 1:57 PM

you the button click, money you might win The basic principle behind WINBUTTON is simple: you the button click, money you might win. In case you have not noticed it is our motto. Although this is a simple principle, we did do a little homework before we decided to randomly give away cash on the internet. So feel free to click as much as you want on the button, and you might win money.

It's a GIS, so there's a small but significant chance that there might be something NSFW in there.

This reminds me of this episode of The Twilight Zone.

One of the "you didn't win again" messages at WinButton:

"This is almost as rewarding as reading Metafilter."

Umm, any particular reason someone with five minutes and a little script couldn't write a bot to click the button 50 times a second?

Elegantly simple concept but still pretty dumb.
