«Big Brother»
A Television show called "Big Brother " doubled with a web site is meeting with tremendous success in the Netherlands. 9 very ordinary people are living in a wired and camera filled house for 100 days. Their objective is to hold out and to be the last one left in order to earn a prize of $ 125 000. To keep busy, they are given exciting assigninments such as memorizing the Netherlands postal codes, or make dinner. They play cards, watch TV and yes, there has been some romance. Anyone can check in on the website anytime, to see what's happening - if anything - which is usually not much. This live event is so succesfull that there are over 25 websites dedicated to "Big Brother ", where tapes and highlights are run from the original website. At the end of the event, QWL will auction off the contents of the home and needless to say, all of the people in the house are now famous in the Holland.


«Startpagina»
Another Internet success story is that of an independant website Startpagina, that puts together on a home page some good bookmarks, with additional pages maintained by volunteers who add bookmarks of their own in their own specialized fields. This website has stunned the big publishers as it is regularly in the top 10 most visited sites with 200 000 visitors a day. No media - portal strategy. A very simple idea with a low budget to run.
