Within a few days of buying an ad on The Million Zimbabwean Homepage, I had 3 contacts from people wanting to Help Spread the Project – aka place cameras about.

First, Mo from Providence, Rhode Island said that she would like to create and place 6 camera packages.

Then, the next day, Igor from New York City asked to place one camera for now, with the possibility of doing a whole bunch more with a bunch of disposable cameras that a friend has. Lets just hope it doesn’t come back smashed!

And the, the day after that Audrey Horne from Salt Lake City wanted to place a camera. Hopefully when it comes back it will have some pictures on it, rather than how Camera #19 came back.

The $3 ad really paid off

In addition to these 8 cameras, The Hammer will be placing a camera somewhere in Victoria, BC.

This has been a productive few days for the project!

A few days ago, I saw a post on Boing Boing about The Million Zimbabwean Dollar Homepage, a spoof on The Million Dollar Homepage from years ago. From the site:

“The fee is Z$900 (US$0.03) US$0.01 for every 900 pixel block. Paypal charges a processing fee of over Z$20,000,000 (based on the current black market rate)! or US$0.35, which is added to each purchase.”

So, I spent a whopping Z$4500 [US$.05] on an ad. After paypal fees, it came to around $3.
