Haha - awesome! I like this idea, although not sure on the whole 'conquer'?
I tried to buy Wales, UK which looked open but it wasn't, much to my disappointment...
If you want some strange part of this and have money you are happy to use as a 'Marketing Expense' - take it for a whirl :)
@bentossell Thanks Ben for starting the conversation! :) Apparently, Wales has already been 'Reserved for Free' when you tried to conquer it. Now it belongs to its current owner until someone is willing to pay for it.
@dfberi I mentioned in my comment about a similar issue to what @joostschuur mentioned... I do think that it should be re-worded. Especially in the current environment we live in.
A fun product though :)
In all seriousness, there's a whole layer of political and cultural complexities involved in applying the Million Dollar Pixel concept to a real world map.
@joostschuur Thanks Joost for raising this issue. We will do everything to keep things clean and peaceful on Million Dollar Map. 'Conquering' a territory implies no more basically than advertising a valid service/product on the surface of that territory. Prior to appearing on the map, we will review the requests, so no harmful content can go live. Should we make a mistake we encourage anyone to report it at support@milliondollarmap.com, and we will delete the advertising in question.
Please have a look at our 'Keep it Clean' policy on our site (you'll have to scroll down a bit): http://milliondollarmap.com/buy
Seriously?
"The Next Million Dollar Homepage" is probably the absolute lowest bar we can possibly set as a technology community.
Happy to be the the dissenting, vocal opinion on this one. (Unless the entire map is covered in charities, who are receiving all of the proceeds.)
